Why a quiz beats rereading your notes

Most students reread their notes and feel done, but a note quiz game forces recall, and recall is what makes material stick. Upload a PDF, slides or a photo of a page and DeckOwl writes the questions for you, with an explanation for each answer.

Questions from your own material

Upload PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain notes, or a photo of a page. Text in images is read with text recognition, so handwritten-free printouts work well.

Three question types

Multiple choice, true/false and short answer, each with an explanation so a wrong answer teaches you why.

Study in the browser

Practice your quiz on any device with a browser. Spaced repetition on flashcards helps you come back to missed material.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, slides, a DOCX file, or a photo of your page.

Pick the question types

Choose multiple choice, true/false or short answer, or mix them in one set.

Play through the quiz

Answer, read the explanation, and retest the questions you missed.

Each question type tests a different skill. Multiple choice checks recognition, true/false catches common misconceptions, and short answer makes you explain the idea in your own words.

The free plan gives you 3 generations per month and browser study. Plus adds unlimited generations and PDF or DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export for instructors who run their course in an LMS.
