Best inputs for pasted notes
Notes-to-flashcards works best when your material already has headings, bullets, definitions, or lecture outlines that can become focused recall prompts.
Paste rough class notes
Use lecture notes, reading summaries, Markdown outlines, or study drafts without spending time formatting them first.
Headings become context
Section headings help the generator keep related facts together and avoid mixing concepts from different topics.
Bullets become prompts
Bullet lists, vocabulary, formulas, and cause-effect notes usually convert into cleaner cards than long unstructured paragraphs.
Clean after preview
After generation, edit any vague cards and delete prompts that test the same fact twice.
Can I paste Markdown notes?
Yes. Headings, bullet lists, and outlines are useful because they give the generator structure for building focused cards.
Do my notes need perfect formatting?
No. Rough notes work, but adding headings or separating topics usually improves the card quality.
Can I paste textbook excerpts?
Yes, as long as you have the right to use the material. Shorter excerpts with clear concepts produce better cards.
What should I do after generation?
Review the preview, rewrite broad prompts, and keep only the cards you would actually study.
