Instantly Create Flash Cards from Handwritten Revision Notes
Stop manually transcribing lecture notes. Upload your PDFs, images, or documents—even messy handwriting—and our AI instantly converts them into efficient digital flashcards optimized for maximum retention.
No credit card required
The Smartest Way to Convert Study Materials
Leverage cognitive science principles directly integrated into your study workflow, moving beyond static notes to dynamic learning.
Input Any Format
Upload your existing study materials, whether they are printed PDFs, scanned pages, lecture slides, or even clear images of your handwritten revision notes, for immediate processing.
Optimized for Recall
Flashcards are generated focusing on core concepts, ensuring you practice active recall, which is scientifically proven to solidify long-term memory.
Spaced Repetition Scheduling
Our system automatically schedules when you need to review each card based on difficulty, maximizing retention efficiency and minimizing last-minute cramming.
Collaborative Study Links
Easily share your curated sets with study partners using a simple public link, ensuring everyone is learning from the same high-quality, AI-generated material.
From Document to Mastery in Three Simple Steps
We automate the most tedious part of studying so you can focus purely on learning and application.
- 1
Upload Your Source Material
Select your documents (PDF, DOCX, PPT, or images) containing your handwritten revision notes or lecture materials directly into the platform.
- 2
AI Generation & Scheduling
Our powerful AI instantly parses the content, creating focused Q&A flashcards. Set your target exam date, and the system builds your spaced review schedule.
- 3
Study Smarter & Review
Begin practicing with your new set. The algorithm adapts review timing to ensure concepts move from short-term to long-term memory efficiently.
Transform Handwritten Revision Notes Effortlessly
Converting handwritten revision flash cards manually is time-consuming and often leads to incomplete or biased sets. Our AI-powered tool eradicates this bottleneck by intelligently analyzing dense source material—scans of notebooks, hastily written lecture notes, or complex textbook chapters—and extracting key concepts into perfectly formed question-and-answer pairs. This process accelerates study preparation, allowing learners to dedicate more time to practice testing rather than administrative note-taking.
- Generating flashcards from complex diagrams or charts
- Optimizing study sessions using cognitive timing
- Creating initial study sets for new or unfamiliar subjects
- Setting hard deadlines using tailored scheduling
- Sharing finalized review decks with classmates
This approach directly supports effective learning strategies like active recall. Instead of passively reading notes, you are immediately forced to retrieve information. By pairing this method with the algorithmic timing of spaced repetition, you build robust knowledge structures essential for high-stakes exams, transforming confusing study material into manageable, mastery-based review cycles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about converting documents and optimizing your study flow.
How accurate is the AI at reading my handwriting?
Our advanced OCR models perform very well on clear, legible handwriting typical of revision notes. For heavily stylized or very faint writing, reviewing the generated cards once is recommended.
Can I edit the flashcards after they are generated?
Currently, the focus is on rapid generation. While we do not offer in-app editing, you can easily export the generated Q&A pairs to refine them externally if needed.
What makes the paid plan better for heavy users?
The paid tier offers significantly higher generation credits per month and access to our most advanced AI model, ensuring faster and more nuanced extraction from very large or technical documents.
What happens if I miss a scheduled review card?
The spaced repetition algorithm adjusts immediately. Missed cards are prioritized for earlier review sessions to ensure the knowledge gap is addressed promptly without disrupting the overall schedule.
