The Smartest Way to Create Flashcards, Beyond Pleco

Stop manually entering vocabulary. Upload your PDFs, DOCX notes, or simply type a topic like 'Chinese characters HSK 4' and let our AI instantly generate high-quality, spaced repetition flashcards.

No credit card required

Streamline Your Language Learning Workflow

Our platform integrates advanced AI with proven cognitive science principles to ensure maximum retention without tedious manual setup.

Material Ingestion & Processing

Upload lecture slides, textbook excerpts (PDF, DOCX, PPT), or images. The AI extracts key concepts to build atomic flashcards, saving hours otherwise spent typing.

Cognitive Scheduling

Flashcards are automatically scheduled using spaced repetition algorithms, optimizing review intervals so you study smarter, not just longer.

Exam Date Targeting

Set a target exam date, and the system adjusts the review cadence, ensuring critical concepts are cemented just in time for your assessment.

Collaborative Sharing

Instantly share your generated decks with study partners via a secure public link, fostering collaborative learning environments efficiently.

From Source Material to Active Recall in Three Steps

We designed this process to minimize friction, leveraging AI expertise so you can focus purely on learning the material.

  1. 1

    Input Your Data

    Upload supporting documents (PDF, DOCX, images) related to your study topic, or directly type a detailed prompt (e.g., 'Generate 50 terms on classical Chinese grammar').

  2. 2

    AI Generation & Scheduling

    Our powerful engine processes the input and creates clear question/answer pairs. Set your desired exam date for optimal spaced repetition scheduling.

  3. 3

    Start Reviewing Effortlessly

    Access your personalized, ready-to-use flashcard deck immediately. Review consistently to solidify knowledge using proven active recall techniques.

Automate Study Prep: Go Beyond Basic Flashcard Apps

How to use Pleco flashcards effectively often involves significant manual data entry, especially when integrating external study notes. Our AI flashcard generator eliminates this bottleneck entirely. We leverage deep learning to transform unstructured data—like academic papers or lecture notes—into highly effective Q&A cards optimized for rapid memorization. This method aligns perfectly with principles of cognitive science, ensuring high transfer of information to long-term memory through systematic active recall practice.

  • Creating custom decks from uploaded PowerPoint slides
  • Generating vocabulary sets based on specific textbook chapters
  • Utilizing spaced repetition for complex concepts
  • Quickly converting image notes into study material
  • Sharing specialized decks with a study group

For language learners, while dictionary tools are essential, they don't automate the creation of contextual review sets from your unique course materials. Imagine taking a dense PDF of historical Chinese texts and turning it into a structured review deck focusing on key dates and philosophical concepts—all without leaving the browser. This level of automation significantly enhances study efficiency compared to traditional tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get clarity on how our AI study assistant complements your existing learning routine.

Can I edit the flashcards after the AI generates them?

At the moment, the focus is on rapid generation from source material. While direct editing isn't supported, you can regenerate decks with a refined prompt if necessary.

What types of documents are supported for upload?

We currently support PDF, DOCX, and common image formats (like JPG or PNG) for content extraction.

Is the spaced repetition scheduling customizable?

Yes, you can set a target exam date, and the algorithm optimizes the review intervals based on that goal to maximize retention leading up to the assessment.

What is the difference between the Free and Paid plans?

The free plan offers a generous number of daily generations using a standard AI model. The paid plan unlocks higher generation quotas and access to our more advanced, powerful AI model for nuanced content.
