Anki flash cards are one of the most popular ways to study smarter, not harder. They help you memorise information using active recall and spaced repetition — two methods proven to boost memory. But creating Anki flash cards manually can feel slow and complicated.

Flashrecall gives you the same powerful learning system Anki is known for, but with a much faster, simpler, and more modern experience. You can create flashcards instantly from almost anything.

What Are Anki Flash Cards?

Anki flash cards are digital flashcards built around two key memory techniques:

1. Active Recall

You try to remember the answer before revealing it.

This strengthens long-term memory better than re-reading notes.

2. Spaced Repetition

Cards are shown again at increasing intervals.

This prevents forgetting and helps information stick.

This approach works for languages, exams, school subjects, university content, and more.

Examples of Anki Flash Cards

Language Learning

Front: “Loquacious”

Back: “Talkative”

Front: “狗 (gǒu)”

Back: “Dog (Chinese)”

Science

Front: “Define diffusion”

Back: “Movement of particles from high to low concentration”

Math

Front: “Quadratic formula”

Back: “x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / 2a”

Medical

Front: “MOA of beta blockers”

Back: “Decrease heart rate by blocking beta receptors”

History

Flashrecall automatically keeps track and reminds you of the cards you don't remember well so you remember faster. Like this :

Front: “When did WWII end?”

Back: “1945”

Anything you need to memorise can be turned into a flashcard.

How Flashrecall Helps You Learn Faster With Anki-Style Flash Cards

✔️ Create flashcards instantly

Flashrecall generates cards from:

  • Images
  • Text
  • Typed prompts
  • PDFs
  • Audio
  • YouTube lessons

This saves hours of manual typing compared to traditional Anki.

✔️ Automatic spaced repetition

Flashrecall uses spaced repetition to show you cards at the perfect time:

  • Hard → shown sooner
  • Medium → shown later
  • Easy → spaced very far apart

You don’t need to manage any settings — it’s automatic.

✔️ Built-in active recall

You see the question → think → reveal the answer.

This strengthens memory much more effectively than passive studying.

✔️ Study reminders

Flashrecall reminds you when it’s time to review so you stay consistent.

Anki doesn’t include reminders by default.

✔️ Works beautifully on iPhone and iPad

Flashrecall has a clean, modern design that’s easy to use.

No plugins. No confusing menus. No technical setup.
