Turn a photo of a vocabulary list into a quiz
Upload a picture of your word list and DeckOwl writes multiple choice, true/false or short answer questions, each with an explanation.
Why a photo works for vocabulary practice
A snapshot of last week's word list from class can become an image-based vocabulary quiz in a few minutes.
- Multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions
- Explanations for every answer
- Text recognition for photos of printed pages
- Free plan includes 3 generations per month
Reads photos of word lists
Snap a page of vocabulary words and text recognition pulls the terms out so you can check them before generating.
Multiple question types
Choose multiple choice, true/false or short answer questions, and read an explanation for why each answer is correct.
Study or export
Practice in the browser on the free plan. Plus exports PDF and DOCX, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.
How it works
Photograph the list
Take a clear picture of the page, or upload a PDF, slides or notes instead.
Pick a question type
Select multiple choice, true/false or short answer for the quiz.
Practice and review
Work through the questions, read each explanation, and return to the words you missed.
Vocabulary sticks better when you produce a meaning instead of recognizing one. Short answer and true/false questions push you to recall definitions, and the explanations show why a wrong option does not fit.
Because the quiz comes from your own material, the words match your course rather than a generic list. Retake it a few days later to see which terms have slipped.

Frequently asked questions
How many vocabulary words should go in one quiz?
Ten to twenty words per quiz works well for most students. That is enough to test recall without overwhelming a single session.
Is it better to quiz myself on vocabulary than to reread the list?
Testing yourself on the word before checking its meaning usually produces stronger memory than rereading. Spreading reviews over several days helps even more.
Can I use a photo of my vocabulary list?
Yes. Photos of pages are read with text recognition, so a clear picture of a printed word list can become questions. You can check the extracted text before generating the quiz.
Do I need to pay to export a quiz?
Studying in the browser is included on the free plan, which allows 3 generations per month. Exporting to PDF or DOCX requires Plus, and QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML export requires Pro.
