Turn lecture notes into an Anki deck in minutes

  1. Clean lightly, not heavily. Shorthand like w/, →, bc is fine; Notes2Deck expands it on the card while keeping your original line as the source.
  2. Paste or upload. Paste up to 1,500 characters free, or upload a PDF on the Full docs plan.
  3. Review the coverage report. It shows what share of your lines got at least one card. Lines with no facts (headings, logistics) are normal gaps.
  4. Import into Anki. Double-click the .apkg file, or use File → Import in Anki desktop. AnkiDroid and AnkiMobile import .apkg too.
  5. Suspend, don't edit, cards you disagree with. Then fix the note in your source for next time.

Scanned PDFs (images of text) aren't supported yet; use a PDF with selectable text. Start with your notes.
