How a Gimkit-style quiz fits into your review

Many students who enjoy a Gimkit-style review mainly need a good set of questions, and that is the part DeckOwl builds. Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or a photo of a page, and it writes multiple-choice, true/false or open questions with explanations for each answer.

  • Works from PDFs, slides, notes and photos of pages
  • Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions with explanations
  • Practice in the browser on the free plan
  • Export to PDF, DOCX, Anki, CSV, QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML on paid plans
Example Spanish food vocabulary quiz questions
What does 'la manzana' mean in English?Apple. Manzana is a feminine noun, so it takes the article la.
True or false: 'el pan' is a feminine noun.False. Pan is masculine, so it takes the article el.
What does 'el queso' mean in English?Cheese. Queso is masculine, so the article is el.
Translate 'las verduras' into English.Vegetables. Verduras is plural and feminine, so the article is las.
How do you say 'rice' in Spanish?El arroz. Arroz is masculine, so it takes the article el.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should I make for Spanish food vocabulary?

Start with 15 to 20 words from one unit, since a small set is easier to repeat. Add the rest once the first group feels familiar.

How do I study Spanish food words so they stick?

Practice in short sessions and learn each noun with its article, such as el queso or la manzana. Spaced repetition brings words back just before you are likely to forget them.

Does DeckOwl host live games like Gimkit?

No. DeckOwl creates quiz questions and flashcards for practice in the browser, not live multiplayer games.

Which export options require a paid plan?

PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export are on Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are on Pro. The free plan lets you study in the browser but not export.
