How Lecture to Flashcards Works
Scholarly's lecture to flashcards converter reads through your lecture slides, notes, or transcripts and identifies the core concepts, definitions, and key takeaways. It then generates question-and-answer flashcards that cover everything you need to know for your exam.
Instead of spending hours after class rewriting lecture content into flashcards, upload your materials and let the AI do the work. You get a complete flashcard deck in seconds, ready for spaced repetition study or a quick review before your next class.
Supported Lecture Formats
Lecture Slides (PDF/PPTX)
Upload PowerPoint or PDF lecture slides directly. The AI reads each slide and creates flashcards from the content.
Lecture Notes
Upload your typed lecture notes as a PDF or Word document. The AI pulls out key points for flashcard creation.
YouTube Lectures

Textbook Chapters
Supplement your lectures by uploading textbook chapters as PDFs. The AI creates flashcards covering the assigned reading.
Export and Study Options
After generating flashcards from your lecture, you can study them directly on Scholarly with built-in spaced repetition. Or export your deck to Anki, download a printable PDF for offline study, or save as CSV. You can also share your flashcard deck with classmates so everyone benefits from the same study materials.
