The difference

Other tools dump a quiz. flashify builds a deck.

Drop in the same chapter — the difference is depth, the right card types, and accuracy you can trust.

Generic AI
QWhat does the Frank–Starling mechanism describe?
AIncreased preload increases stroke volume.

Flat. One fact — no mechanism, no clinic, no check.

flashify Expert
Increased preload raises stroke volume via the Frank–Starling mechanism.
Mechanism: Greater end-diastolic volume stretches sarcomeres → optimal actin–myosin overlap → more forceful contraction.
Clinical: Curve flattens in systolic heart failure — fluid overload no longer translates to output.
High-yield: ↑ preload → ↑ stroke volume, up to a physiologic limit.
Board-checked vs USMLE standard.

Structured, not flat

Every card carries the mechanism, a clinical correlation, and the high-yield takeaway — the depth AnKing decks are known for.

Image occlusion

We find the labeled diagrams in your PDF and turn each into a masked active-recall card.

Board-checked

Every medical card is audited against board standard — and flagged when your source deviates.

Common Questions

Can't find what you need? Reach out to our support team.

You can, and it works okay for simple use cases. The main differences: (1) we read your PDF highlights so cards focus on your weak spots, (2) our prompts are tuned for Anki's atomic card format, and (3) you get a direct .apkg export instead of copy-pasting.

Yes. We detect highlighted regions and annotations in your PDF. The AI uses them to prioritize which content to turn into cards. If your PDF has no highlights, the AI generates from the full text instead.

The quality is generally good for structured content like textbooks and study guides. For complex or ambiguous material, you'll want to review the output — that's why we include a split-screen review step.

Yes. We export standard .apkg files with proper field mappings and Cloze deletion support. Import directly into any Anki client — desktop, mobile, or web.

Yes — on the Expert tier. Flashify finds the labeled diagrams in your PDF (anatomy plates, schematics) and turns each into an image-occlusion card with its labels masked, alongside richer mechanism / clinical detail on every card. Pick Expert on the generate panel; it costs 3 credits per page versus 1 for Standard.

Your highlights deserve better cards.
