Why a notes to flashcards app saves time

The fastest way to turn class material into study cards is a notes to flashcards app that reads what you already wrote instead of making you retype it.

Example basic algebra equations flashcards

What is the first step to solve 2x + 5 = 17?Subtract 5 from both sides to get 2x = 12, then divide both sides by 2 to get x = 6.

What does it mean to isolate the variable?Use inverse operations to get the variable alone on one side of the equation, with a number on the other side.

Why must you do the same operation to both sides of an equation?An equation stays balanced only when both sides change by the same amount, so the solution does not change.

Solve 3(x - 4) = 9.Distribute to get 3x - 12 = 9, add 12 to both sides to get 3x = 21, then divide by 3 to get x = 7.

What is the solution to x/4 = 6?Multiply both sides by 4 to undo the division, which gives x = 24.

Works with what you already have

Drop in PDFs, DOCX and PPTX files, plain text notes, or photos of handwritten or printed pages. Text recognition reads the images.

Spaced repetition built in

Cards come back at the intervals where you are most likely to forget them, so you spend less time rereading and more time recalling.

Quizzes and mind maps too

The same material can become multiple choice, true/false or short answer questions with explanations, or a mind map of main branches.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, slide deck, document, text file or photo of your notes. No account setup is needed to start.

Review the generated cards

DeckOwl proposes flashcards from the content. Keep the ones that matter and edit any wording you want to change.

Study on a schedule

Open your deck in the browser and work through due cards each day. Spaced repetition decides when each card returns.

Writing cards by hand works, but it takes longer than the lecture it covers and often skips the details that show up on exams. Generating cards from your own slides and notes keeps the questions tied to what your instructor actually taught.

Free accounts get 3 generations per month and browser study. Paid plans remove the generation limit and add exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for basic algebra equations?

Aim for one card per method or rule, such as isolating a variable or distributing across parentheses, plus a few worked examples. Most chapters of basic algebra fit well in 30 to 60 cards.

How should I study algebra equations with flashcards?

Put the problem on the front and the full solution steps on the back so you practice the process, not just the final answer. Review cards you miss more often and try each problem by hand before flipping the card.

Can I export my flashcards to Anki?

Yes, but exports are a paid feature. Plus ($39/year or $7.99/month) includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, while the free plan lets you study in the browser.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. No credit card is needed to start, and students get 40% off with a school email.
