Get physics vocab flashcards from your own class notes
Upload your slides, PDFs or notes and get flashcards for the exact terms your course uses, reviewed with spaced repetition.
Why build your own physics vocab set
Ready-made lists of physics vocab flashcards cover general terms, but your course uses its own definitions, notation and chapter order. Generating a set from your own slides or textbook pages means every card matches what your instructor is likely to test.
- Cards follow your course's wording instead of a generic glossary.
- You can edit any term or definition before you start studying.
- Spaced repetition schedules the cards you find hardest more often.
- Upload the same material again later to refresh the set for a new unit.
Reads your own material
Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes or photos of pages. Printed pages are read with text recognition.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards you miss come back sooner and cards you know come back later, so vocabulary sticks before the exam.
Export when you need it
Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export. The free plan keeps you studying in the browser.
How it works
Add your physics material
Upload a lecture deck, textbook PDF, typed notes or a photo of a handout page.
Check the generated cards
Review the terms and definitions and edit anything that does not match your course.
Study with spaced repetition
Review in the browser on the free plan, or export to Anki on Plus.
Paste or upload the material and DeckOwl pulls out candidate terms and definitions you can check against your notes before studying. Photos of printed handouts are read with text recognition, so paper-only material still works.

Frequently asked questions
Which physics vocabulary should I learn first?
Start with the terms your instructor lists on the syllabus or uses in the first problem sets, such as units, vectors and forces. Those terms tend to show up again in later chapters.
How many physics terms should one flashcard set cover?
Aim to cover the vocabulary your instructor emphasizes rather than every term in the textbook. Review the generated list and remove anything you are not expected to know.
Is the physics vocab set free?
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Plus adds unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export.
Can I export physics flashcards to Anki?
Yes, Anki export is included on Plus, which costs $39/year or $7.99/month. Students get 40% off with a school email address.
