Studying OnlineMedEd material with flashcards you generated yourself

Many medical students keep their OnlineMedEd flashcards in a deck they typed by hand, which can eat up hours that would be better spent reviewing. Starting from your own notes or PDFs lets you cut that time down and keep cards tied to the exact material you are learning.

Upload the PDFs or slides you already study from, so cards match your course.
Keep each card to one fact so the answer is easy to check.
Review a short session daily instead of cramming the night before an exam.
Use the free plan to test the workflow before deciding on Plus.

Built from your files

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or a photo of a page, and DeckOwl reads it and drafts cards from the content.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner and cards you know are spaced further apart, so review time goes where it is needed.

Export when you need it

Plus users can export to Anki, PDF, DOCX or CSV to study on other devices or keep a backup.

How it works

Upload your material

Add lecture slides, a PDF of your notes or photos of textbook pages.

Generate your cards

DeckOwl proposes flashcards from the text. Remove any card that is not worth keeping.

Study on a schedule

Review each day in the browser and let spaced repetition decide what comes back next.

The most useful cards test one fact or mechanism each. Generate a first draft, then edit it so every card has a single clear answer you could explain out loud. Spaced repetition then handles the timing, so the high-yield facts return before you forget them.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make from one lecture PDF?

Aim for one card per distinct fact, then remove any card that tests the same idea as another. Dense lectures produce more cards, so judge by how much you actually need to remember.

How does spaced repetition help with medical board content?

It schedules cards you miss more often and spaces out the ones you know, so you review each fact just before you would forget it. Short daily sessions tend to work better than long cramming blocks.

Can I export my flashcards to Anki?

Yes, export to Anki is included in the Plus plan, which costs $39/year or $7.99/month. The Free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

Is there a free plan, and do I need a credit card to start?

The Free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, with no exports. No credit card is needed to start.
