Lecture to Flashcards
Turn any lecture into flashcards
Whether it's a recorded lecture on YouTube, a set of lecture slides, or typed lecture notes — Deckio converts it into a study deck so you can review instead of re-watching or re-reading.
Step 1
Choose your lecture format
YouTube URL for recorded lectures, PDF for slides, or paste typed notes.
Step 2
AI extracts key points
Deckio identifies definitions, facts, and concepts worth memorizing from the lecture.
Step 3
Study efficiently
Review with spaced repetition instead of re-watching a 90-minute recording.
Sample: converting a biology lecture
Re-watching a lecture takes 45-90 minutes. Reviewing the same material as flashcards takes 10-15 minutes and is more effective for long-term retention.
