An AI flashcard generator that shows where every answer came from

What an AI flashcard generator does

Making good flashcards by hand takes longer than studying them. An AI flashcard generator does the slow part for you: it reads your material, finds the ideas worth remembering and turns each one into a question you answer from memory.

The trouble with most generators is trust. A card that sounds right but isn't is worse than no card at all, because you'll learn it. That's why FlashCardz is built around proof.

How FlashCardz writes your cards

1. You add a file: lecture slides, a PDF, a Word document, an EPUB, or photos of your notes.
2. The file is read and the key ideas of your course are ranked, so the cards test what matters, not every sentence.
3. Each idea gets cards from different angles: recall it, reverse it, explain it, contrast it with a neighbour, apply it to a case.
4. Every card quotes the line it came from. Before you see it, it's checked against that line, and a card that doesn't hold up is dropped.
5. Your first cards are ready in minutes, while the rest of the file is still being read.

Cards you can check in one tap

Flip a card and its source is right there: the quote, the file and the page. One tap opens your own document on that page with the line marked. When a slide is mostly a picture, the card points to the part of the slide it's about instead, and if that can't be confirmed the card carries a “check this” mark rather than pretending to be sure.

What makes a good flashcard, whoever writes it

• One idea per card. If the answer is a paragraph, it's two or three cards.
• A question you can only answer if you know the idea, not one you can guess from the wording.
• Several angles on the same idea, so you can use it, not just recognise it.
• A source you can go back to when your answer and the card disagree.

FlashCardz writes cards to these rules, and you can edit any card it makes. If you'd rather write your own, the card maker sits right beside your PDF and keeps the page on every card.

It keeps going after the first pass

Studying shows which ideas haven't stuck yet. On Plus, every night FlashCardz writes new cards for the ones you missed, coming at each idea from another angle, and spaced repetition times every review so you're ready on exam day, not just tomorrow.
