Turn your own vocabulary notes into quiz questions and answers
Upload a word list, textbook chapter or slide deck. DeckOwl writes multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions, each with an answer and a short explanation.
Why a custom vocabulary quiz works better than a generic list
Teachers and students often search for vocabulary quiz questions and answers they can use right away, but a generic list rarely matches the words in this week's reading. Building the set from your own material fixes that: upload the chapter, slides or notes, and the AI writes questions that test the terms you actually need to know.
- Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions from the same source
- A one-sentence explanation attached to every answer
- Spaced repetition for words you keep missing, on Plus and Pro
- Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, and QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML on Pro
Built from your material
Questions use the exact terms from your PDF, DOCX, PPTX, notes or a photo of a page, so the quiz matches what you are studying.
Answers with explanations
Every answer includes a sentence on why it is correct, so a wrong guess becomes a lesson instead of a dead end.
Study in the browser
Take the quiz right away on the free plan. Paid plans add PDF and DOCX export for printing or sharing.
How it works
Upload your words
Add a PDF, slides, DOCX file, plain notes or a photo of a vocabulary list.
Pick a question type
Choose multiple choice, true/false or open questions, and how many you want.
Quiz yourself or export
Answer in the browser, or export to PDF or DOCX on Plus. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are available on Pro.
Each answer comes with a one-sentence reason, so the quiz teaches as well as tests. Wrong choices are plausible words from the same topic, which makes you think about the difference in meaning instead of guessing by length or elimination.
The free plan includes 3 generations a month and needs no credit card to start. Plus, at $99.90 a year or $9.99 a month, adds unlimited generations and PDF and DOCX export. Students with a school email get 40% off.

Frequently asked questions
How many vocabulary quiz questions should a set include?
Ten to twenty questions covers most single-unit word lists and keeps a quiz short enough to finish in one sitting. Start with the words you marked as hard, then add the rest.
What makes a good answer choice on a vocabulary quiz?
Wrong options should be plausible words from the same topic, such as a near-synonym with a slightly different meaning. Avoid answers that are obviously longer or shorter than the others.
Can I export the quiz to Word or Moodle?
DOCX and PDF export are included in Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are available on Pro. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.
