Why DuoCards Works… For Basic Tasks

DuoCards is easy to use. You can create simple flashcards, write your own questions and answers, and review them at your own pace. If your study goal is small (like a short vocab list), DuoCards may do the job.

But For Anything Bigger — Flashrecall Wins

Here’s where DuoCards starts to feel limited:

  • It may require you to type all the cards manually.
  • It may not support PDFs, images, audio or YouTube links.
  • It might not include built-in spaced repetition or active recall systems.
  • It might get slow or messy when you try study for big or complex topics (like languages, medicine, business, exams).

Flashrecall solves all of those problems:

  • Create flashcards instantly from images, text, prompts, PDFs, YouTube videos, audio.
  • Built-in active recall + spaced repetition helps you memorise faster.
  • Works for language learning, exams, school, personal projects — literally anything.
  • Modern interface, designed for speed and convenience.
  • Free to start.

When DuoCards Might Be Enough

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

If you’re simply memorising a short list — say 10 new words for tomorrow — DuoCards is okay. It’s minimal, light. But once your list grows, or you need to add images or audio or rely on revision scheduling, you’ll hit its limits.

When Flashrecall Becomes the Better Choice

If you’re tackling:

  • A full subject or exam (medicine, languages, geography)
  • Large volumes of notes or textbook chapters
  • Mixed content types (diagrams, PDF pages, videos)
  • Long-term memorisation (not just one session)
  • Need spaced repetition and custom review flow

Then Flashrecall is the smarter, faster choice.

Final Thoughts

DuoCards is a basic entry-level flashcard app. Fine for quick tasks. But if you want something that truly helps you memorise, handle any type of content, and build custom decks in seconds — Flashrecall is the next level.
