Turn your letter sheets into flashcards you can study on your phone
Printed alphabet cards work until you need to practice on the bus or at the kitchen table. DeckOwl builds flashcards from your own letter charts, worksheets, or photos.
Why make your own letter flashcards
Printed letter sheets are fine until a child needs to practice on the bus, at the kitchen table, or in a waiting room. This tool turns a photo of a letter chart or your own notes into letter flashcards on phone you can study in the browser, with spaced repetition that shows the hard letters more often.
- Short daily sessions of two to four letters tend to stick better than one long drill.
- Pair each uppercase letter with its lowercase form on the same card or on neighboring cards.
- Mix in letters that look alike, such as b and d, so the differences get practiced.
- Say the letter sound out loud before flipping the card to check your answer.
Reads photos of pages
Snap a letter chart or worksheet and text recognition pulls the letters and words into your flashcards.
Spaced repetition
Letters you miss come back more often, so the tricky ones get extra practice without you sorting the deck by hand.
Browser study
Free accounts study in the browser on any device, with no credit card needed to start.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes, or a photo of the page.
Review the cards
Check each front and back, and delete or edit any card that does not match your letters.
Study in short sessions
Open the deck on your phone and let spaced repetition choose which letters come up next.
Upload a PDF worksheet, a DOCX handout, or a snapshot of a page, and the text is read before cards are written. Review the cards, remove any that do not fit your lesson, and study in short sessions so the review stays focused.

Frequently asked questions
How do I teach a child letter sounds with flashcards?
Show one letter at a time, say its common sound, and have the child repeat it before flipping the card. Keep sessions short and mix in letters the child already knows so review stays steady.
How many new letters should a beginner learn at once?
Most beginners do well with two to four new letters per session, reviewed alongside letters they already know. Short daily practice usually works better than one long session each week.
Can I export my letter flashcards to Anki or print them?
Yes, but exports are part of the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month, which includes PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV export. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exporting.
