Turning your notes into flashcards

Handwritten and printed notes are full of material worth studying, but retyping everything into flashcards is slow and boring. Scan notes to flashcards fixes that: you take a photo of your notes, the app turns the image into text with OCR, then the AI turns that text into question-and-answer cards. You go from paper or a screenshot to a study deck in one flow, without switching apps or retyping.

It works for lecture notes, revision sheets, and even messy handwriting. After the cards are generated, you can edit or delete any card, then study with spaced repetition so the material sticks. Flashcards from notes is especially useful right before exams, when you want to lock in everything you’ve already written down.
