Turn video lecture notes into a quiz with AI
DeckOwl reads PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text and photos of pages, not video files. Paste a lecture transcript or upload your slides and notes to get multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions.
From lecture recording to practice quiz
Recorded lectures are hard to quiz yourself on because you cannot search them the way you search a textbook. A video to quiz maker works best when you give it text: a caption file or transcript, plus the slides the instructor showed. DeckOwl does not accept video files, so the key step is getting clean text out of the recording first.
- Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages.
- Paste a transcript or caption text from a lecture recording.
- Multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions with explanations.
- PDF and DOCX export on Plus; QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export on Pro.
Multiple choice, true/false, short answer
Each question comes with an explanation, so a wrong answer still teaches you something.
Works from your own material
Slides, notes, DOCX files and transcript text all become quiz questions built from what you actually studied.
Study in the browser or export
The free plan includes 3 generations a month with browser study. Plus and Pro add exports for your LMS or flashcard app.
How it works
Get the text
Copy captions or a transcript from the recording, or gather the slides and notes the lecture used.
Upload or paste
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or a photo of a page to DeckOwl.
Pick a type and study
Choose multiple choice, true/false or short answer, then review the explanations for each question.
Once the text is in, DeckOwl generates multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions with explanations. Check the first set against the source, since a model can misread a speaker's shorthand, and delete anything wrong or off-topic before you study.

Frequently asked questions
How many quiz questions should I make from one heart anatomy lecture?
Ten to fifteen questions usually cover the main chambers, valves and conduction path from a single lecture. Mix multiple choice with short answer so you practice both recognition and recall.
What is the best way to study heart anatomy with a quiz?
Trace blood flow from the vena cavae through the heart to the aorta without notes, then check the explanations for any step you missed. Repeat the questions you got wrong after a day or two.
Can DeckOwl turn a video directly into a quiz?
No. DeckOwl takes PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text and photos of pages, so paste the transcript or upload the slides and notes instead.
Which export formats need a paid plan?
PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export are on Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are on Pro at $14.99/month.
