The Anki cards you never have time to make.
Anki is the spaced-repetition tool every med student trusts. The bottleneck is making the cards. Notella generates them from your own lectures and PDFs in about five minutes — so you can spend the time drilling instead of carding.
How to Use Notella with Anki
Record the lecture
Hit record at the start of class, or drop in the slides, a textbook chapter, or a downloaded Panopto / Echo360 recording.
Get cards in five minutes
Notella transcribes the audio and generates flashcards plus a multiple-choice quiz from what was actually said.
Drill them — and (soon) export
Drill in Notella's built-in quiz mode now. Anki export is on the roadmap; email contactus@notella.app to vote it forward.
Notella Features for Anki Users
From 90 minutes to 5
Hand-carding a single lecture takes about 90 minutes. Notella does it in roughly five — including the multiple-choice quiz.
Transcript-grounded
Every card sits beside the full lecture transcript. Verify what was said, edit any card, drill the ones you trust.
School-specific cards
Big shared decks (Anking, Lightyear) cover the boards. Notella generates cards from your own school's recordings — the ones that match your block exam.
Edit before you drill
AI gets some cards wrong. Every card is editable so you can fix wording, fix facts, or delete cards that do not match the lecture before drilling.
Keep your Anki workflow
Notella does not ask you to abandon Anki. Use Notella to generate; drill wherever you already drill. Anki export is in development.
Drill in the gaps
Quiz mode lives on your phone. Use it on the bus, between classes, in line for coffee — wherever the study gap appears.
