How an AI video quiz generator works with lecture material

DeckOwl is not a video player, so it cannot watch a lecture. It works as an AI video quiz generator once you give it the lecture's text, such as a transcript copied from captions or your own typed notes.

Paste captions from a lecture or recorded talk as plain text
Turn slide decks in PPTX format into multiple-choice questions
Review explanations for every answer, right or wrong
Export to Anki or CSV on Plus, or QTI and Moodle XML on Pro

Example Macbeth quiz questions from a lecture transcript

Which characters first tell Macbeth that he will be king hereafter?The three witches on the heath in Act 1, Scene 3. Their prophecy plants the ambition that drives the rest of the play.

Which character cries 'Out, damned spot' in the sleepwalking scene?Lady Macbeth, in Act 5, Scene 1. Her guilt over Duncan's murder surfaces even though she once tried to wash the blood from her hands.

Who does Macbeth hire to murder Banquo and Fleance?Hired murderers, in Act 3, Scene 1. Macbeth wants to remove Banquo because the witches prophesied that Banquo's descendants would be kings.

What Scottish king does Macbeth murder in Act 2?King Duncan. His murder is the first crime of the play and sets off the chain of events that follows.

True or false: Macduff was not born in the usual way, so he can defeat Macbeth despite the witches' prophecy.True. Macduff was 'from his mother's womb untimely ripp'd' (Act 5, Scene 8), a loophole Macbeth overlooked in the witches' prophecy.

Frequently asked questions

Can I upload a video file directly?

No. DeckOwl accepts PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text, notes and images of pages, so for a video you need to copy its transcript or captions and paste them as text.

How many questions should a Macbeth quiz have?

A set of about ten questions works well for one study session. Focus on turning points such as Duncan's murder and the banquet, so each question tests a decision or its consequence.

Which exports are included in the paid plans?

Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export. Pro at $14.99/month adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export.

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, but no exports. Students get 40% off with a school email.
