Make a free vocabulary quiz from the words you are studying
Upload a list, a textbook chapter or a photo of your notes. DeckOwl writes multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions, each with an explanation of the right answer.
Why a custom vocabulary quiz works better than a generic list
Most vocabulary tests reward recognizing a word in context, and that is hard to practice from a flat list. A free vocabulary quiz built from your own reading or class notes puts each word in the sentence where you met it, so you practice the meaning you actually need.
- Upload any word list, reading passage or set of notes as the source.
- Choose multiple choice, true/false or short-answer questions.
- Every answer includes an explanation you can review.
- Free plan: 3 generations a month, studied right in the browser.
Built from your material
Questions come from the words and passages you upload, so the quiz matches your course rather than a generic word bank.
Explanations on every answer
Each question shows why the correct answer fits, which helps you learn the meaning and not just the letter.
Free to start
The free plan includes 3 generations a month and studying in the browser. No credit card is needed to begin.
How it works
Upload your words
Add a PDF, DOCX, slides, plain text or a photo of a page. Photos are read with text recognition.
Choose a question type
Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, then generate the quiz.
Study and retry
Work through the questions in your browser, read the explanations, and run the quiz again until the words stick.
Start with a short set of 10 to 20 words per quiz. Mix question types: multiple choice checks recognition, while short answer forces you to recall the definition yourself. Reading the explanation after each wrong answer matters more than the score.
