Turn your history notes into world history trivia flashcards
Ready-made decks often miss what your class covers. DeckOwl reads your own material and builds flashcards you can review on a spaced schedule.
Why custom cards beat generic trivia decks
Most ready-made world history trivia flashcards cover famous dates and familiar figures, but they rarely match the chapter, lecture or syllabus you are tested on.
- Cards come from your own readings, lecture slides and notes
- Spaced repetition schedules reviews around what you forget
- Photos of textbook pages are read with text recognition
- Students get 40% off with a school email, and no credit card is needed to start
Built from your material
Upload PDFs, slides, notes or photos of pages, and the cards come from what you actually need to know.
Spaced repetition
Cards you miss come back sooner, and ones you know fade into longer intervals so review time goes further.
Study anywhere
Review in the browser on the free plan. Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export for other tools.
How it works
Upload your notes
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or image of a textbook page to start.
Generate flashcards
DeckOwl creates question and answer cards from the key dates, people, and events in your material.
Review on a schedule
Study the cards daily and let spaced repetition bring back the ones you find hardest.
Generating cards from your own material keeps the questions aligned with your course. You can start with one reading or one unit, then add more as the term moves on.
Free accounts get 3 generations per month with browser study. Plus, at $39/year or $7.99/month, adds unlimited generations and export.
