Turn your own notes into a practice quiz with explanations
DeckOwl does not run or join live games. It reads your PDFs, slides or notes and writes multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions you can study right away.
Why practice quizzes beat a join bot
A gimkit join bot is a script that sends automated players into a live game, and DeckOwl does not build or run one. What it does instead is turn the notes you already have into practice questions you can answer on your own schedule, which helps material stick far better than a game that lasts five minutes.
- Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions
- Explanations that show why an answer is right or wrong
- Study in the browser on the free plan
- Export to Anki, PDF, DOCX or CSV on Plus
Quizzes from your files
Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or photo of a page and get questions based on that material.
Explanations for every answer
Each question comes with an explanation, so you learn why the right answer is right and not just which letter to pick.
Study now, export later
The free plan lets you study in the browser. Exports are included on paid plans.
How it works
Upload your material
Add the slides, notes or chapter you need to review.
Pick a question type
Choose multiple-choice, true/false or short answer, then generate the quiz.
Practice and review
Answer from memory, read the explanations, and go back to the questions you missed.
Answering questions from memory and checking the explanation after each one is one of the most reliable ways to study. Missed questions can be repeated over several days, so the ones you struggle with come back more often.
