Turn lecture slides into flashcards you’ll remember

Upload a PowerPoint deck and StudyTab reads every slide, tables and speaker notes included, then writes flashcards and notes from it. The deck stays next to your cards as real slides, and each card comes back just before you’d forget it.

What does adenylyl cyclase make from ATP?

💡 A second messenger

Made from your week 4 lecture deck
The problem

Lecture slides are hard to revise from

01

Bullet points without the lecture

Slides are a summary of what was said. Weeks later, a list of keywords doesn’t tell you what you were meant to know.

02

Copying slides into cards takes hours

Turning a 40-slide deck into flashcards by hand eats an evening, and there’s a new deck every week.

03

Fifty decks by finals

By the end of term the slides are spread across courses and folders, and rereading them all is out of the question.

Features

Made for learning from slides

  • Reads the whole deck

    Slide titles, bullet points, tables and the speaker notes, where lecturers often put the real explanation.

  • Slides shown as slides

    Your deck stays viewable as the original slides, side by side with the notes and cards made from it.

  • 8 card types

    Definitions become fill-in-the-blank, processes become ordering cards, lists become multiple choice.

  • A tutor that knows your course

    Ask a question and get an answer from your own slides and notes, not a generic one from the internet.

  • One schedule for every course

    Cards from slides, PDFs and lecture videos share one daily review, so nothing gets left behind.

FAQ

PowerPoint to flashcards questions, answered.

Still unsure? Write to us. A person reads every message.

Which files work?
PowerPoint .pptx files, and OpenDocument .odp. Decks from Google Slides or Keynote work once you export them as .pptx. Older .ppt files need to be saved as .pptx first.
Does it read speaker notes?
Yes. Speaker notes are read along with the slide text and tables, and they often hold the explanation the bullet points leave out.
What about pictures and diagrams on slides?
Text inside pictures isn’t read. For a slide that’s mostly a diagram, add a screenshot of it and make a picture-quiz card that hides the labels.
Can I edit the cards?
Always. Change the wording, switch the card type or delete what you don’t need. The AI gives you a first draft; the deck is yours.
Is it free?
Yes. The free plan gives you notes, all 8 card types and spaced-repetition reviews, with no time limit and no card needed. Pro is optional: it maps your whole syllabus with the gaps marked, turns handwritten notes into cards and gives you ten times the daily AI help. See the pricing page for details.
