Turn photos of your notes into quizzes with an AI quiz maker
Photograph a textbook page or upload slides, and DeckOwl writes multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions with explanations.
How an AI quiz maker handles image-based notes
Plenty of study material lives on a phone as photos of book pages or projected slides. An AI quiz maker with images reads that text first, then writes questions from it, so you do not have to retype a chapter before you can test yourself.
- Photograph one page at a time, flat and in good light.
- Check that the full page is in frame, including headings.
- Choose PDF or DOCX export on Plus if you need a printable copy.
- Use Pro for QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML if your course runs on an LMS.
Photos read as text
Photos of printed pages are read with text recognition, so you can quiz yourself from a book page without retyping it.
Three question types
Multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions, each with an explanation for the correct answer.
Export when you need it
Plus exports to PDF and DOCX. Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for course platforms.
How it works
Add your material
Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or photos of pages.
Generate the quiz
DeckOwl writes questions and explanations from the text it reads in your material.
Study in the browser
Answer right away in the browser on the free plan, or export your quiz on Plus or Pro.
Each question comes with an explanation, which matters more than the answer letter. When a true/false item is wrong, the explanation shows why, so the mistake becomes a fix rather than a guess.
Blurry or cropped photos give the text reader less to work with. Retake the shot with the full page in frame and the headings visible before you generate the quiz.
