  2. 02Pick the Photo tab. Take photo opens your camera; Choose photos picks images from your gallery or computer.
  3. 03Add one photo for each page and put them in order. AI reads the printed or handwritten text and splits it into parts, each with concept cards, flashcards, questions and a mission.
  4. 04Fix anything it misread in the deck editor. Your photos stay with the deck, so you can check a card against the page.

What does the AI make from a photo of my notes?

On the left, a photo of handwritten notes. On the right, cards a deck makes from it. Tap them: they're the real study screens.

BEFORE · YOUR PHOTO
A phone photo of a handwritten notebook page titled Chapter: Cell, the unit of life, with notes on the structural unit, cell theory and cell shape.
AFTER · CONCEPT CARD

Cell theory

Plain English

Schleiden (1838) and Schwann said that every living thing is made of cells. Virchow later added that every cell comes from a cell that already existed.

What are the two main ideas of cell theory?ANSWER

All organisms are made of cells, and every cell comes from a cell that already existed.

How well did you know it?

Say the answer in your head, then tap the card.

Which images can it read?

Any photo or screenshot with words you can read yourself. The AI reads words, so a drawing with no labels gives it nothing to work with.

Screenshot of slides, a website or an e-bookWhat happensRead like any other photo
Long screenshot, like a scrolled web pageWhat happensCut into up to 3 pieces so the text stays big enough to read. Each piece counts as a photo, and you're asked first.
Image bigger than 20 MBWhat happensTurned away before it opens, because it can freeze a phone. Save it smaller and add it again.
Blurry photo, or one with no wordsWhat happensSkipped, and the photo goes back to your monthly count

How do I take a photo the AI can read?

If you can read it on your phone screen, the AI can read it too.

  • One page per photo, filling most of the frame.
  • Good light and no shadow from your phone across the page.
  • Hold the phone flat above the page so the lines stay straight.
  • Zoom in on the photo before you add it. Blurry words become wrong cards.

Can I add photos to a deck I already have?

Yes. Open the deck, press Add from photos and choose which section the new cards go in, or start a new one. Each photo counts the same as on a new deck.

What should I check before I study?

AI drafts are good, not perfect, and handwriting is where misreads happen. Two minutes of checking saves weeks of reviewing a wrong card.

  • Compare names, numbers and formulas with your photo. A misread 7 or a missing minus sign is easy to miss.
  • Delete cards about things you don't need to know.
  • Rename the deck and its parts so you can find them later.
