How an AI version of flashcards works with your own material
Many students who want a Quizlet-style AI version are tired of typing every term by hand. DeckOwl reads your own PDF, slides, notes or photos of pages and produces flashcards you can review with spaced repetition.
- Cards come from your own course material, not a generic pre-made set.
- Spaced repetition schedules reviews around what you are likely to forget.
- Photos of printed pages are read with text recognition.
- Exports to Anki, PDF, DOCX and CSV are available on the Plus plan.
Starts from your files
Upload PDFs, DOCX and PPTX files, plain notes or images. Photos of pages are read with text recognition.
Spaced repetition built in
Flashcards are scheduled so you review the ones you are about to forget, not the ones you already know.
Quizzes and mind maps too
Turn the same material into multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions with explanations, or a mind map.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a lecture PDF, slide deck, notes file or a photo of a textbook page.
Generate your cards
The AI pulls out key terms and answers so you can review them without typing everything by hand.
Study in the browser
Review with spaced repetition. Plus adds exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV.
Upload a lecture PDF or a DOCX of your notes, and the generator pulls out the terms, definitions and facts it finds. Printed pages photographed with your phone are read with text recognition, so you can start from a paper handout as well.
The free plan includes 3 generations per month with studying in the browser. Plus adds unlimited generations and exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV, so your cards can move into the tools you already use.

Frequently asked questions
How should I study flashcards for intro biology cell structure?
Review a short set of cards every day rather than one long session before the exam. Say the answer out loud before you flip the card, and focus extra time on the cards you keep missing.
Which cell biology terms should I make flashcards for first?
Start with the terms your lecture slides repeat most, such as organelles and their functions. Then add cards for any process, like osmosis or protein synthesis, that you find confusing.
Do I need a credit card to try DeckOwl?
No. You can start on the free plan without a credit card, which includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser.
Can I export my flashcards to Anki?
Yes, but exports to Anki, PDF, DOCX and CSV are part of the Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.
