Turn your lecture notes into a quiz you can put in Google Forms
DeckOwl reads your PDF, slides, DOCX or notes and writes multiple-choice, true/false and open questions with explanations. You then copy them into a Google Form and set the answer key.
Getting a Google Form quiz from your own notes
Most teachers and students who want to create a Google Form quiz with AI begin with a stack of notes and no time to write every question by hand. Starting from the source material you already have keeps the questions tied to what the class actually covered.
- Generate questions from PDFs, slides, DOCX files, notes or page photos
- Check each answer key against your source before copying it into a form
- Turn on quiz mode in Google Forms so points and grades are recorded
- Use the explanations as feedback text when you review results with students
Questions from your own material
Upload a PDF, slide deck, DOCX file, text notes or a photo of a page. The questions come from what you actually studied.
Explanations for every answer
Each question includes a short explanation, so you can check the answer key quickly before it goes to your class.
Export options that fit your workflow
Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, and to QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML on Pro. Google Forms is not a direct export target, so you paste the questions in yourself.
How it works
Upload your source
Add a PDF, slides, DOCX, notes or a photo of your handout.
Choose the question types
Pick multiple-choice, true/false or open questions and generate a set.
Copy into Google Forms
Paste each question into your form, turn on quiz mode, and add points and the answer key.
DeckOwl does not write into Google Forms directly. It generates the questions and explanations, and you copy them over, then decide the point values and answer keys inside the form. Reviewing each answer before you publish is the step that matters most.
If you need a quiz that moves into another system, Plus exports PDF and DOCX, while Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for learning management systems.

Frequently asked questions
How do I turn on quiz mode in a Google Form?
Open the Settings tab, go to Quizzes, and switch on Make this a quiz. You can then set point values and an answer key for each question.
Can a Google Forms quiz grade itself?
Yes, for multiple-choice and checkbox questions with an answer key, and for short answer questions where you list accepted responses. Anything that does not match the key needs manual grading.
Does DeckOwl export straight to Google Forms?
No. Exports on the paid plans are PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV on Plus, plus QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro, so you copy questions into Google Forms yourself.
Is there a free plan to try this?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, with no credit card needed to start, but exports require a paid plan.
