Why a custom template beats a generic one

Most ready-made templates cover someone else's content, so the questions rarely match what was taught this week. DeckOwl takes the Gimkit-style quiz template idea and fills it with your own material: upload a file or a photo of a page, and the AI writes questions with explanations you can check before class.

Works with photos of printed pages through text recognition
Free plan includes 5 generations a week and browser study
PDF and DOCX export are included with Plus
Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export for course platforms
