If you’re searching “USMLE Anki,” you’re probably deep into Step 1, Step 2, or Step 3 prep — and you already know that spaced repetition is one of the fastest ways to memorise medical facts.

Anki decks like Zanki, Lightyear, AnKing, and Miledown have helped thousands of students.

But the biggest problem?

Typing cards, formatting, managing settings, and keeping up with massive review piles can get overwhelming fast.

Flashrecall gives you all the spaced-repetition benefits without the complexity. It turns your notes, PDFs, screenshots, and explanations into instant flashcards so you can learn USMLE content faster and with less stress.

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.
