AI flashcard maker: common questions

How does the AI flashcard maker work?

It reads the text in your file, finds the key terms, facts and definitions, and writes a card for each: the term on the front, a one-sentence definition on the back.

What can I make flashcards from?

Lecture slides, typed notes, scripts or textbook chapters as PDF, PowerPoint or Word files up to 25 MB. The file needs selectable text.

Is it free?

Your first try is free without an account. To make more and get a full course from your file, sign up for free.

Are the flashcards accurate?

They only use what's in your file, so they follow your lecture's wording. Check anything that looks off against your notes.

Can I export the flashcards to Anki or Quizlet?

Not at the moment. Your flashcards live in heystudy, next to the notes and quizzes for the same unit.
