Turn your class notes into iPhone quizzes with AI
Upload a PDF, slide deck or photo of a page and get multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions with explanations. Study them on your phone in a few spare minutes.
Quick quiz practice on your iPhone
Between classes, a few minutes of quiz practice on your phone beats a long cram session. If you want a Gimkit app for iPhone for that, DeckOwl is a different kind of tool: it builds quizzes from your own material instead of a fixed question bank.
- Works from PDFs, DOCX and PPTX files, plain notes and photos of pages
- Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions with explanations
- Study in the browser on the free plan, with no exports
- Plus and Pro add exports for PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV, with Pro adding QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML
Questions from your own material
Upload PDFs, DOCX files, PPTX slides, plain notes or photos of pages. Text recognition reads the photos.
Explanations for every answer
Each multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer question comes with an explanation, so missed questions teach something.
Flashcards and mind maps too
Turn the same material into spaced-repetition flashcards or a mind map when quizzes are not the right format.
How it works
Add your material
Upload a file or take a photo of your notes or textbook page.
Choose a question type
Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short answer, then generate your set.
Answer and review
Work through the questions on your iPhone browser and retry the ones you missed.
Upload a PDF, slide deck, set of notes or a photo of a page, and DeckOwl writes multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions, each with an explanation. The free plan lets you study in the browser with 5 generations a week.
Plus adds unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX and Anki exports, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for teachers who run quizzes in a learning management system. Students with a school email get 40% off, and no credit card is needed to start.
