How to build zorbi flashcards that stick
Good zorbi flashcards start with clean source material. Use the lecture slides or chapter pages you were assigned, not a loose collection of half-remembered notes, so each card asks about something the course actually covers.
- Use one fact per card so you can grade yourself honestly.
- Write the answer in your own words when you edit a card.
- Review new cards within a day, then space out the repeats.
- Rebuild the deck from fresh notes before each exam.

How it works
Add your source
Upload a file, paste notes or snap a photo of a page.
Generate cards
DeckOwl builds flashcards from the material you provided.
Review on a schedule
Study in the browser and let spaced repetition schedule the cards you find hard.
Keep each card to one fact or one question. A card that asks for three things is hard to grade honestly, and a card with a long answer tempts you to read instead of recall. Review the cards you get wrong more often than the ones you already know.
After the first pass, shuffle the deck and test yourself again after a day or two. Repeated recall over spaced intervals is what moves material into long-term memory.

Frequently asked questions
How many zorbi flashcards should I make for one study session?
Most students do well with 20 to 40 cards per session, grouped by topic. Start smaller if the material is new to you and add more as recall gets easier.
How do I study flashcards so I remember them longer?
Say the answer out loud before you flip the card, then rate how hard it was. Spaced repetition brings back the cards you miss at longer intervals once you know them.
Can I export my flashcards?
Export is a paid feature. Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, while the free plan lets you study in the browser.
Can I make flashcards from photos of my notes?
Yes. Photos of pages are read with text recognition, so you can upload images along with PDFs, slides and plain text.
