best fit
use PDFs that contain material you need to recall
The workflow is designed for study material, not for replacing careful reading or professional review.
Course readings
Turn key concepts from assigned material into prompts you can revisit after the first read.
Lecture handouts
Convert structured notes and explanations into a compact deck for later practice.
Study guides
Use an existing revision document as the source for questions rather than rewriting every card.
Reference material
Create recall prompts for terminology and facts while keeping the PDF available for context.
four steps
a responsible PDF-to-review workflow
A short inspection step between generation and review makes the deck more dependable.
- 01
Add the PDF
Choose one document with a clear study purpose. If your material exists as separate photos of notes, biu accepts those as another supported input.
- 02
Read the generated summary
Use the summary to see how biu interpreted the document and to notice missing context before reviewing individual cards.
- 03
Inspect important flashcards
Compare precise facts, formulas, definitions, and claims with the original pages. Generated cards are drafts, not a replacement for the source.
- 04
Review cards when they are due
Answer cards in the daily quiz. Correct answers increase the interval before the next scheduled review.
quality check
what to inspect before studying
The usefulness of a generated deck depends on both the source and the review you give the output.
Start by checking whether each card asks one clear question. Split cards that bundle several ideas, and preserve enough context that the answer still means the same thing outside the paragraph it came from.
Then verify details where accuracy matters: units, negatives, exceptions, names, dates, citations, and terminology. If a PDF is ambiguous or visually complex, return to the relevant page instead of assuming the generated card captured everything.
