From class notes to a study set in one step

Students who want their notes turned into Quizlet-style cards usually already have the material, just not in a form they can drill. DeckOwl reads typed notes, slides, PDFs and photos of printed pages, then writes flashcards and quiz questions from them so review can start the same day you take the notes.

  • Works with typed notes, slides, PDFs, DOCX and PPTX files.
  • Photos of printed pages are read with text recognition.
  • Flashcards and quizzes are generated from the same source material.
  • Students can get 40% off with a school email.
Example DNA and genetics flashcards
What are the four nitrogenous bases in DNA?Adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine. Adenine pairs with thymine and guanine pairs with cytosine.
What does a codon consist of?Three consecutive nucleotides in mRNA that specify one amino acid or a stop signal.
What is the difference between a gene and an allele?A gene is a segment of DNA that codes for a trait. An allele is a specific version of that gene.
What is a Punnett square used to predict?The probability of offspring genotypes and phenotypes from a cross between two parents.
What enzyme unwinds the DNA double helix during replication?Helicase, which breaks the hydrogen bonds between base pairs so each strand can be copied.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make from a genetics chapter?

Most students do well with 20 to 40 cards per chapter, focused on one idea each, such as a term, a process or a comparison. Cards that test a single fact are easier to review with spaced repetition than long multi-part answers.

What is the difference between a genotype and a phenotype?

A genotype is the genetic makeup of an organism, meaning the alleles it carries for a trait. A phenotype is the observable trait that results from the genotype together with environmental effects.

Can I export my cards to Anki or CSV?

Yes, Anki and CSV export are included in the Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

Is there a free plan to try this first?

Yes, the free plan includes 5 generations a week and browser study, and no credit card is needed to start. Upgrading to Plus unlocks unlimited generations and exports.
