Flashrecall transforms how you make Anki Cards. Create them from images, text, PDFs, and more instantly! Boost your learning with active recall and spaced repetition.

How Flashrecall app helps you remember faster. It's free

Anki cards are one of the best ways to learn and remember anything — languages, school subjects, medical content, exam prep, or general knowledge. But the traditional Anki process can feel slow and manual, especially when you have to type every card one by one.

Flashrecall gives you the power of Anki cards but makes the entire process way faster, easier, and more modern. You can create cards instantly from almost any material.

What Are Anki Cards?

Anki cards are flashcards built around two proven techniques:

1. Active Recall

You look at the front and try to remember the answer before checking it.

2. Spaced Repetition

You review cards at increasing intervals to strengthen long-term memory.

This combination works for every subject — but creating the cards manually can be time-consuming. Flashrecall fixes that.

Examples of Anki Cards

Languages

Front: “Aberration”

Back: “Something unusual or unexpected”

Front: “猫 (neko)”

Back: “Cat (Japanese)”

Science

Front: “What is osmosis?”

Back: “Movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane”

Math

Front: “Area of a circle”

Back: “πr²”

Medical

Front: “Mechanism of ACE inhibitors”

Back: “Relax blood vessels by blocking angiotensin II”

History

Front: “Year the Berlin Wall fell”

Back: “1989”

Anything with a question on one side and an answer on the other can be an Anki card.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Anki good for studying?

Anki is powerful but requires manual card creation and has a steep learning curve. Flashrecall offers AI-powered card generation from your notes, images, PDFs, and videos, making it faster and easier to create effective flashcards.

What's the fastest way to create flashcards?

Manually typing cards works but takes time. Many students now use AI generators that turn notes into flashcards instantly. Flashrecall does this automatically from text, images, or PDFs.

How do I start spaced repetition?

You can manually schedule your reviews, but most people use apps that automate this. Flashrecall uses built-in spaced repetition so you review cards at the perfect time.

What is active recall and how does it work?

Active recall is the process of actively retrieving information from memory rather than passively reviewing it. Flashrecall forces proper active recall by making you think before revealing answers, then uses spaced repetition to optimize your review schedule.

What's the best way to learn vocabulary?

Research shows that combining flashcards with spaced repetition and active recall is highly effective. Flashrecall automates this process, generating cards from your study materials and scheduling reviews at optimal intervals.
