Before you start

Sign in to keep the flashcards in your account. Use material you have permission to use. Automatic generation uses your available allowance; check the status and any access requirements shown in the app.

Keep complete definitions, numbers, units and exceptions. Remove unrelated subjects so the learning scope stays useful.

1. Find the right place

On Home, choose “Generate from text”. In the text window, place your notes in “Learning material”.

2. Prepare and choose

Paste up to 8,000 characters, including punctuation, spaces and line breaks. For longer notes, split by topic. For example, explain what chloroplasts contain and what photosynthesis converts, rather than pasting only isolated keywords.

3. Check the settings

Choose “Output language”, then check your material before selecting “Continue”. Wait for the material to be organized. If a learning scope appears, select the sections you need and confirm that scope to generate. Uploading and parsing are preparation steps; they do not mean a finished flashcard set has been saved.

4. Check the result

Check each question, answer and cloze against your notes. Keep the conditions that make an answer correct. Follow the task’s save status and open the resulting set; if saving fails, retry saving the existing result.

Troubleshooting

If “Continue” is disabled, check for empty material or too many characters and wait for account data to load. Removing text is enough to fix the limit; changing its font does not change the character count.
