EchoPal turns your notes into a hands-free study session. Upload a PDF, PowerPoint, or paste any text, and EchoPal instantly builds flashcard-style questions from your material. Then it reads each question aloud, listens to your spoken answer, and gives you real feedback! No typing required! Study while you cook, drive, clean, or work out. EchoPal keeps track of what you get wrong and brings those questions back automatically so nothing slips through the cracks. KEY FEATURES • Hands-free voice sessions: questions read aloud via text-to-speech, answers captured by microphone. No screen interaction needed. • AI-powered question generation: upload a PDF, PPTX, or paste text and EchoPal builds targeted questions from your content. • Instant explanations: get a question wrong and EchoPal explains why, then lets you ask follow-up questions until you actually understand. • Automatic weak-spot targeting: missed questions cycle back into the session so you keep practicing what matters most. • Session summary: see your score, accuracy, and time spent after every session. • Multiple voice options: choose from a range of TTS voices to match your preference. • Try before you sign up: tap "Try a Demo" on the landing screen to experience a full voice session with no account required. BACKED BY SCIENCE Active recall has been shown to outperform passive review by a wide margin. Students who test themselves on material remember significantly more after a week than those who simply re-read notes. EchoPal is built around this principle.
