How an AI quiz generator works with your material

Most quizzes are only as useful as the material behind them, so an AI quiz generator works best when it reads your own lecture slides, PDFs or typed notes. DeckOwl reads text from PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text and photos of pages, then writes questions that match what you actually covered.

Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions from one upload
Explanations for every answer, right or wrong
Quizzes built only from your material instead of generic filler
Exports to PDF and DOCX on Plus, plus QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro

Frequently asked questions

How should I build a quiz on the Roman Empire from my notes?

Keep each quiz to one period or theme, such as the Augustan principate or the crisis of the third century, so the questions stay connected and the explanations are easier to review. Mix recall questions about names and dates with short answer questions about causes and consequences.

What is a good way to study Roman Empire dates?

Group dates into eras, such as Augustus's reign, the Pax Romana and the division of the empire in 395 CE, then quiz yourself on what came before and after each event. Seeing events in sequence makes them easier to remember than memorizing isolated years.

Can I export my quizzes?

Exports are paid features. PDF and DOCX exports come with the Plus plan, while QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML exports are included in Pro. The free plan lets you study quizzes in the browser.

Does it work with photos of my notes?

Yes, photos of pages are read with text recognition, and you can also upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX or plain text files. No credit card is needed to start.
