Turn your notes into a quiz you can run in Google Forms
DeckOwl reads your PDFs, slides or notes and writes multiple-choice, true/false or open questions with explanations. Copy them into a form, or export to PDF or DOCX on a paid plan.
Why build the quiz from your own material
If you want a Google Forms quiz generator that works from the material you actually study, start with the file you already have.
- Questions tied to the pages or slides you uploaded
- Explanations you can reuse as feedback for students
- Open questions for short answer checks alongside multiple choice
- Copy-ready text that you paste into your own form
Questions from your material
Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or a photo of a page. Questions come from what is actually in your file.
Explanations on every answer
Each multiple-choice, true/false and short answer question includes a short explanation, so you can check the reasoning before you publish.
Export when you need to
Paid plans export to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML. The free plan studies in the browser.
How it works
Upload your notes
Add a PDF, slides, a Word file or a photo of a page.
Choose question types
Pick multiple choice, true/false or open questions.
Copy into Google Forms
Paste each question into a new Google Form and set the answer key there.
Google Forms can grade multiple-choice and true/false questions automatically once you set the answer key, but it does not write the questions for you. DeckOwl drafts them from your lecture slides or chapter notes, and each one comes with an explanation you can reuse as feedback.
Review every draft before you publish it. The generator works from your file, so a question can miss a nuance or pull a detail out of context.
