Read full description

Making flashcards shouldn't take longer than studying them. SpeakDeck turns your voice, your camera, and AI into the fastest way to build study cards—then spaced repetition makes sure every card sticks. If you love flashcards but hate making them, welcome home. Speak it. Scan it. Or let AI extract it. Your deck is ready before your coffee is. ■ FOUR WAYS TO MAKE A CARD (NONE OF THEM INVOLVE TEDIOUS TYPING) ▸ SPEAK IT Say the front. Say the back. Done. Build an entire deck while you walk to class or wait in line—no keyboard required. ▸ SCAN IT Point your camera at a textbook page, handwritten notes, a chemistry formula, or an anatomy diagram. SpeakDeck's OCR captures it and turns it into a card in seconds. ▸ LET AI DO IT Paste an article or snap a photo, and AI automatically pulls out the vocabulary you don't know—with the meanings attached. Works with English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Korean, and Chinese. Reading a Spanish news story? You'll have a ready-made vocab deck before you finish the page. ▸ TYPE IT (IF YOU INSIST) Classic text entry and image import are always there when you want full control. ■ REVIEW RIGHT BEFORE YOU FORGET SpeakDeck schedules your reviews with a spaced repetition algorithm built on the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve—the memory science trusted by med students and language learners everywhere. Each card comes back at the exact moment you're about to forget it, so you spend less time studying and remember more of what you study. ■ HEAR EVERY CARD IN 9 LANGUAGES Built-in text-to-speech reads your cards aloud in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese. Perfect for pronunciation practice, listening drills, or hands-free review at the gym. ■ PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your cards live on your device—period. No forced account. No cloud upload required. No one mining your study data. Just you and your memory. ■ BUILT FOR SERIOUS STUDYING ▸ Language learning — Spanish, Japanese, Korean, French, and more ▸ GRE, SAT, and ACT vocabulary ▸ MCAT, USMLE, and nursing exams ▸ Bar exam and professional certifications ▸ College courses — anatomy, biology, chemistry, history ▸ AP exams and high school finals ▸ Any subject where memorization is the game ■ A DAY WITH SPEAKDECK Morning commute: speak twenty Spanish verbs into a fresh deck. In lecture: snap the professor's slide before it changes. At the library: paste the assigned reading and let AI pull out the terms you'll be tested on. At night: a ten-minute review session—SpeakDeck has already picked exactly which cards you need to see. The algorithm handles the rest. ■ COMING FROM ANKI OR QUIZLET? You'll feel right at home—minus the busywork. Love Anki's algorithm but tired of the dated interface and the clunky card editor? SpeakDeck gives you the same science-backed scheduling with card creation that takes seconds, not minutes. Like Quizlet but not the rising subscription prices? SpeakDeck keeps your data on your device and your study session interruption-free. Bring your knowledge over the fast way: speak it, scan it, or let AI extract it. ■ FREE TO START.

WHY LANGNOTE • Learn from YOUR material — not generic textbook content • Photos, voice, PDFs, and screenshots all supported • Tap any word to see its meaning instantly • Track your streak, vocabulary, and progress • Supports studying English, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, French, and more Whether you're in a classroom, self-studying, or reviewing on the go, LangNote makes sure nothing you learn slips away.
