Photos to flashcards

Turn photos of your notes into flashcards

Take a picture of your notebook, a textbook page or a vocabulary list. On Plus and Pro, Mnema reads it and writes flashcards from what is on the page, or copies your list exactly as you wrote it.

How it works

  1. 1

    Add the photos

    Up to 8 pictures in one message: notebook pages, a textbook page, a whiteboard, a vocabulary list or a labelled diagram.

  2. 2

    Say what you need

    Cards that explain the page, or every word on the list exactly as you wrote it. Mnema asks only what it still needs before it writes.

  3. 3

    Check, then study

    Each draft shows the text it read from your photo. Keep, edit or delete it, then study with spaced repetition, cram mode or a quiz.

Word lists, exactly as you wrote them

Studying a language from a notebook? Ask for the cards “exactly as I wrote them” and Mnema copies each word and its translation onto a card, nothing added. Ask for all of them and it makes one card per entry: forty words, forty cards.

Diagrams from a photo

Photograph a labelled diagram and Mnema hides the labels, then asks you to name them one at a time. It is the sticky note trick, without the sticky notes. Labels printed in English read best today, so check the hidden labels before you save.

What works best

  • Good light and the page filling the frame.
  • One page per photo. Two columns are fine.
  • Small handwriting is readable when it is sharp; blurry photos make fewer cards.

Questions

Does it read handwriting?

Yes, when the photo is sharp. Each draft shows the text Mnema read from your photo, so check it before you save.

How many photos can I add at once?

Up to 8 pictures in one message.

Which plans read photos?

Plus and Pro. A photo is read once for a few credits; later questions about the same photo are free.

Is Mnema free?

Mnema is free during invite-only early access. Request early access and start with your own notes.

Make cards you can check

Before you save, each AI card shows its passage and its page, slide, time or web page, says how far to trust it, and says whether a second check found it in the source.
