Instant AI Flashcards From Your Apple Pencil Notes

Stop tedious transcription. Upload clear images of your handwritten notes or diagrams annotated with your Apple Pencil, and our AI instantly converts that material into dynamic, editable flashcards.

No credit card required

Bridge the Gap Between Pen and Digital Mastery

Harness the power of your handwritten effort without the manual input overhead. Our system integrates directly with how you already learn.

Capture Handwriting via Image Upload

Simply take a photo of your notes written with an Apple Pencil—diagrams, annotations, or text—and the AI processes the image to generate usable data points.

Optimized Cognitive Scheduling

Beyond static Q&A, benefit from integrated spaced repetition algorithms that ensure you review complex topics right before forgetting them, maximizing long-term retention.

Total Control Editing

While the AI handles extraction, you maintain authority. Easily review, edit, or refine any generated question or answer in your own expert words before studying.

From Handwritten Draft to Perfect Study Deck in Three Steps

Transforming your physical study materials into intelligent, spaced learning sessions has never been faster.

  1. 1

    Capture Your Material

    Take a clear photo or scan of the page where you used your Apple Pencil, or upload the corresponding PDF/image file containing your notes.

  2. 2

    AI Extraction & Parsing

    Our advanced AI analyzes the image content, recognizes key concepts from your handwriting, and structures them into atomic question-and-answer pairs.

  3. 3

    Refine and Schedule

    Review the generated deck, make final personal edits, select your target exam date, and activate smart scheduling for effortless study sessions.

Why AI Flashcards Outperform Manual Review of Handwritten Notes

If you rely on your Apple Pencil for initial brainstorming or note-taking, turning those efforts into effective review tools is crucial. Generic flashcard decks rarely align perfectly with the specific emphasis used in your lecture notes. Using our AI approach ensures every concept you underlined or sketched out digitally is converted into a high-utility study item.

  • Digitize handwritten insights efficiently.
  • Focus study time using personalized spaced repetition.
  • Ensure complete topical coverage based on your exact source material.

This method marries the benefit of active note-taking with the efficiency of modern learning algorithms, making your existing Apple Pencil work exponentially more effective for exam preparation.

Questions About AI Note Conversion

Answers to common queries regarding digitizing your study input.

How does the AI interpret my handwriting from an Apple Pencil image?

The system uses sophisticated Optical Character Recognition (OCR) trained on various handwriting styles, combined with contextual analysis, to accurately convert scribbles, diagrams, and text into structured data points for flashcards.

What types of files can I upload that originated from my iPad/Pencil?

We support direct uploads of common image formats like PNG and JPG (screenshots of your drawings), as well as PDF documents where you may have imported or exported your annotated notes.

Is creating AI flashcards from my notes better than using pre-made decks?

Yes, significantly so for test prep. Pre-made decks cover general knowledge, but AI-generated cards based on your source material target the specific nuances and emphasis present in *your* lectures, maximizing relevance.

Is there a cost associated with converting my existing Apple Pencil notes?

Our core service is free to try, allowing you to convert a substantial number of notes. Premium plans offer increased monthly credit limits and access to our most advanced AI model for complex material.
