Free tool
Paste your notes or a chapter. Get objectives, key terms, the concepts explained, the mistakes people make, and questions that hide their answers. Free, and it runs before it asks you anything.
What you should be able to do — phrased so you can test whether you can do it.
The vocabulary you need cold, each defined in one precise sentence.
The ideas themselves, explained rather than merely listed.
The specific errors students make on this material, and the corrections.
Questions with answers hidden until you ask, so you retrieve instead of recognise.
You have met the other kind. A confident generate button, a hopeful click, and then a signup wall where the study guide should have been. You give up an email to find out whether the thing is even any good.
Paste your notes here and you get the whole guide — every section, answers included, copy and download available — without an account existing. If it is useful you will know before we know your name.
Most tools in this category shorten your material and call it a guide. Shorter prose is still prose you read once, and reading is recognition — it feels like learning while very little sticks.
This separates what you memorise from what you explain, names where the material trips people, and makes you answer before it shows you anything. That last part is the one that does the work.
Lecture notes, a textbook chapter, a set of slides. Or drop in a PDF — it is read in your browser and the file never uploads. Up to 4,000 words, free, with no account.
One press. You get learning objectives, key terms, the core concepts explained, the mistakes people actually make on this material, and self-test questions with hidden answers.
Answers stay covered until you ask for them, so you practise retrieval rather than recognition. Copy it, download it, or keep the tab open through the week.
Three months of lecture notes in no particular order. The guide gives them a shape you can actually revise from, in about ten seconds.
Reading is recognition; it feels like learning and mostly is not. Self-test questions turn the same chapter into retrieval practice.
For readers with ADHD or dyslexia the material is rarely the obstacle — the format is. A structured guide breaks a wall of text into pieces with edges.
Tutors and TAs use it to turn a reading into a handout: objectives at the top, terms defined, questions ready at the bottom.
What none of them get from a guide is the reading itself. That still has to happen — which is why the same chapter also converts into a chapter-aware audiobook you can listen to on the walk in. Guide for the revision pass, audio for the pass before it.
Paste the notes into the generator above and press build. You get learning objectives, key terms with definitions, the core concepts explained, common misconceptions, and self-test questions with hidden answers. It takes a few seconds and needs no account. For handwritten notes, photograph them with Google Lens or Adobe Scan first to get the text out, then paste that.
Yes — 4,000 words per guide, no signup, no card, and the whole guide is visible. That is a full textbook chapter or a long lecture's notes. Most tools in this category show you a generate button and then ask you to create an account before anything happens; this one runs first and asks nothing.
Five parts. Learning objectives, phrased as things you should be able to do rather than vaguely understand. Key terms with one-sentence definitions. Core concepts, each explained in a few sentences. Where people commonly go wrong on this material. And self-test questions whose answers stay hidden until you reveal them, because retrieving an answer is what makes it stick, and seeing one does not.
No, and the difference matters. A summary retells the material in fewer words — you read it once. A study guide is organised for recall: it separates what you must memorise from what you must be able to explain, and it makes you test yourself. If a tool hands you three shorter paragraphs, you were given a summary.
Yes. The PDF is read in your browser using its text layer, so the file itself never reaches a server. If it is a scan — photographs of pages with no text layer — nothing can extract text from it until it has been through OCR, and the tool tells you that at upload rather than producing an empty guide.
No, and it will not pretend to. Formulas, figures, and data tables cannot be represented in a text study guide without mangling them, so they are skipped. Use the guide for the concepts, terminology, and reasoning, and keep the book open for the maths. Any tool claiming to do more with a diagram is overselling.
One chapter or one lecture at a time, between roughly 120 and 4,000 words. Guides get vague when the source spans a whole module, because the tool has to generalise across too much. Several focused guides beat one broad one, and it is closer to how you will revise anyway.
No. What you paste is used to build the guide and then discarded — not saved to an account, not used for training, not retained after the request. PDFs are parsed entirely in your browser and never uploaded at all.
The same material converts into a chapter-aware audiobook — front matter skipped, resumable across devices, downloadable as MP3s. Your first chapter is free at any length, no card.
