How the photo quiz maker reads your pages

Phone photos of a textbook page, a whiteboard or handwritten notes are often the fastest way to build a study set, and a quiz maker using photos reads the text in each image before writing questions from it.

Use steady, well-lit photos with the whole page in frame.
Check that headings and numbers were read correctly before you study.
Start with one section of notes at a time so questions stay focused.
Retake the same quiz after a day to see what you still remember.

Example anatomy quiz questions from textbook photos

Which nerve is the main motor supply to the diaphragm?The phrenic nerve. It arises from cervical spinal segments C3 to C5.

What does the Achilles tendon connect?The calf muscles to the calcaneus. It transmits force for plantarflexion, such as pushing off when walking.

Generate the full set

Reads photos directly

Phone photos of pages are processed with text recognition, so you do not need to retype notes before making a quiz.

Mixed question types

Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions are generated from the same material so you practice recall in more than one format.

Explanations included

Each question comes with a short explanation of why the correct answer is right, so missed questions become lessons.

How it works

Photograph your pages

Take clear, well-lit photos of a textbook page, slide or handwritten notes.

Upload and generate

Add the images to DeckOwl and choose the question types you want to practice.

Study and retake

Answer the questions in the browser, review the explanations and retake the quiz later to check what you remember.

You can also mix photos with PDF, DOCX or PPTX files in the same project. Review the questions before studying, since multiple-choice, true/false and short answer items each include an explanation that shows why an answer is correct.

Photos work best when the text is sharp and evenly lit. If recognition misses a line, retake the shot before trusting the quiz, because questions are only as accurate as the text they were built from.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a quiz from one photographed page have?

Most single pages support a handful of questions, so start with five to ten and add more for dense material. Mixing multiple-choice and true/false items helps you practice recall rather than just recognition.

What is the best way to study a quiz made from lecture slides?

Photograph one section of slides at a time and quiz yourself on that section before moving on. Return to the same questions a day later, since spacing your review improves retention.

PDF and DOCX export are included with Plus at $99.90/year or $9.99/month, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are on Pro at $14.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.
