How an AI quiz maker turns your notes into practice questions
Teachers and students who already have lecture slides or chapter notes usually want quizzes built from those exact pages, not a generic template. Many people comparing an Appy Pie AI quiz maker want questions drawn from their own material, so DeckOwl reads your files first and writes questions that match what you actually need to learn.
- Multiple-choice questions with four plausible options
- True or false statements for quick definition checks
- Short answer prompts that test recall without options
- Explanations for every question, right or wrong
Your own material
Quizzes come from the PDFs, slides, DOCX files, notes or page photos you upload, not generic templates.
Explanations included
Each question comes with an explanation, so wrong answers teach you something instead of just being marked wrong.
Exports on paid plans
Plus adds PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export for learning management systems.
How it works
Upload your file
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or photo of a page.
Choose question types
Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short answer and set how many questions you want.
Study or export
Practice in the browser on the free plan, or export files on Plus and Pro.
Each generated question includes an explanation, which matters more than the score itself. Reviewing why the correct option is right and why the distractors are wrong helps you spot gaps before an exam. You can also mix formats, starting with true/false for definitions and moving to short answer once the facts stick.
