Why build vocabulary from your own material

Ready-made vocabulary sets are convenient, but they often include words you already know and skip the terms your course or reading actually uses. Vocabulary building flashcards work better when they come straight from the text you need to understand.

  • Upload chapters, articles or lecture slides and get cards for the terms in them
  • Spaced repetition schedules review so hard words return more often
  • Photos of printed word lists or textbook pages can be used as input
  • Free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser

Cards from your reading

Upload a PDF, DOCX, slides, notes or a photo of a page and get flashcards built from the words in that text.

Spaced repetition

Cards you find hard come back sooner, so new vocabulary moves into long-term memory instead of fading after one session.

Quizzes to test recall

Turn the same material into multiple choice or short answer questions with explanations to check what you actually remember.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, document, slides, plain notes or a photo of a page. Photos are read with text recognition.

Review the generated cards

Check the word on the front and its definition on the back, then keep the cards you want to study.

Study on a schedule

Practice in the browser with spaced repetition so each word returns just before you would forget it.

When a word appears in a sentence from your own reading, you remember its meaning in context. Cards that keep the original sentence on the back help you recall not just a definition but how the word is used.

If you need a printable set for a class, you can study the cards in the browser on the Free plan. Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV are part of the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month.

Frequently asked questions

How many new words should I learn in one session?

A small batch of new words per session works better than cramming a long list at once. Spaced repetition then brings older words back at intervals so they stay in memory.

What makes a vocabulary flashcard effective?

Put the word on the front and a short definition plus a sample sentence on the back. Seeing the word in context usually helps it stick better than memorizing a definition alone.

Can I export vocabulary flashcards to Anki?

Yes, Anki export 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.

Can I make cards from a photo of a word list?

Yes. Photos of pages are read with text recognition, so you can upload a picture of a printed list or textbook page to generate cards.
