Why custom cards beat generic decks for TCM

Ready-made decks cover a lot of ground, but traditional chinese medicine flashcards work best when they follow your own syllabus, from the five phases to herb properties and formula names. Your instructor's terms and emphasis matter more than a general list.

Cards come from your lecture slides, notes or textbook pages, not a generic deck.
Spaced repetition shows weak terms more often until they stick.
Edit any generated card so the wording matches your course.
Free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study.

Generate the full set

Built from your course material

Upload PDFs, DOCX files, PPTX slides, plain notes or photos of pages. Cards follow the terms and order your instructor actually uses.

Spaced repetition scheduling

Cards you miss come back sooner and cards you know fade out of the rotation, so review time goes to the terms that need it.

Export when you need it

Study in the browser on the free plan. Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export for printing or moving decks into other apps.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a lecture PDF, slide deck, typed notes or a photo of a textbook page. Images are read with text recognition.

Generate your flashcards

DeckOwl creates question-and-answer cards from your content. Review the set and edit anything that does not match your course.

Study on a schedule

Work through due cards each day. Spaced repetition brings back the terms you are weakest on before exam week.

Making cards by hand from a long chapter takes hours, and many students stop before the material is covered. Generating cards from your own notes or slides takes minutes, and you can still edit each card to match the wording in class.

Spaced repetition then does the scheduling work. Terms you miss come back more often, so you spend review time on the gaps rather than re-reading what you already know.

Frequently asked questions

How should I write a good TCM flashcard?

Put one concept on the front, such as a single herb, pattern or meridian, and keep the back to a short, specific answer. Cards that ask for one property or one function are easier to review than long lists.

What topics should TCM flashcards cover first?

Start with the foundational theories your course uses, such as yin and yang, qi, the five phases and the zang-fu organs. Then move to diagnostic methods and the herbs and formulas assigned for the exam.

Can I export my TCM flashcards to Anki?

Yes, Plus includes Anki export along with PDF, DOCX and CSV. The free plan lets you study flashcards in the browser but does not include exports.

Is there a free plan?
