Key Benefits of Flashcards
Active Recall
Actively retrieving information strengthens memory more effectively than passive review.
Spaced Repetition
Voice Scholar's algorithm automatically schedules reviews based on your performance.
Focus on Weak Areas
The system identifies which concepts you struggle with and prioritizes them.
How Voice Scholar's Flashcards Are Unique
AI Generation
Automatically created from your lecture content with no manual effort required.
Context Awareness
Each flashcard is tied to the specific part of the lecture where the concept was discussed.
Adaptive Learning
The difficulty and frequency of flashcards adjust based on your performance.
Accessing Your Flashcards
Voice Scholar automatically generates flashcards from your uploaded lecture recordings. Here's how to access them:
Open a lecture
Navigate to one of your transcribed lectures from your dashboard or classes section.
Click on the "Study" tab
Within the lecture view, you'll see multiple tabs. Select "Study" to access all study materials.
Select "Flashcards"
In the Study section, you'll find different study material options, including Flashcards.
Tip: You can also access flashcards directly from the "Study Materials" section in your dashboard, where you'll find flashcards organized by class or lecture.

24 flashcards available
Practicing with Flashcards
Once you've accessed the flashcards section, you can begin your study session. Here's how to use the flashcard interface effectively:
An object in motion stays in motion, and an object at rest stays at rest, unless acted upon by an external force.

Click "Start Practice"
This will begin a new flashcard study session.
Study the question side of the card
Try to recall the answer before revealing it. This active recall is what makes flashcards effective.
Click "Flip" or on the card itself
After attempting to recall the answer, reveal the correct answer.
Rate your performance
Be honest about whether you knew the answer:
- Click "Correct" if you knew the answer
- Click "Incorrect" if you didn't know it
Continue through the deck
Move through all the flashcards in the session, rating each one.
Tip: Each flashcard shows the timestamp from your lecture where the concept was discussed. You can click this timestamp to jump to that exact point in the lecture for more context if you're struggling with a particular card.
Understanding Spaced Repetition
Voice Scholar uses an intelligent spaced repetition system to optimize your learning. This scientifically-proven technique schedules reviews at increasing intervals to ensure you retain information for the long term.
How Spaced Repetition Works
Cards you get wrong are shown more frequently
Cards you know well are shown less frequently
Review intervals increase as you consistently get cards right
This optimizes your study time and improves long-term retention
The Science Behind Spaced Repetition
Research shows that reviewing information just as you're about to forget it strengthens memory far more effectively than cramming. Voice Scholar's algorithm calculates the optimal time for each review based on your performance history with each flashcard.
Study Recommendations
Based on your flashcard performance, Voice Scholar will provide personalized study recommendations on your dashboard. These highlight which topics need more review before your next study session.
Study Recommendation

Tracking Your Progress
Visit the Analytics section to track your flashcard performance over time. You'll see which topics you've mastered and which ones still need work.

Customizing Your Flashcards
While Voice Scholar automatically generates flashcards from your lectures, you can also customize them to fit your specific needs:
Available Customization Options
Edit Existing Flashcards
You can modify the question or answer text of any generated flashcard to better match your understanding.
Create Custom Flashcards
Add your own flashcards to supplement the AI-generated ones with content from class notes or textbooks.
Flag for Focus
Mark specific flashcards as high priority to ensure they appear more frequently in your review sessions.
Remove Flashcards
Hide or remove flashcards that cover concepts you've already mastered or that aren't relevant to your learning goals.
Pro Tip: For maximum retention, try creating your own flashcards to complement the AI-generated ones. The process of deciding what's important enough to include as a flashcard enhances your understanding of the material.

Tips for Effective Flashcard Study
Get the most out of Voice Scholar's flashcard system with these proven study strategies:
Short, Regular Sessions
Study in short, focused sessions of 15-20 minutes rather than cramming for hours. Multiple brief reviews are more effective for long-term retention.
Be Honest with Yourself
Rate your flashcard performance honestly. Marking a card as "correct" when you didn't really know it only hurts your long-term learning.
Focus on Weak Areas
Pay special attention to flashcards you consistently get wrong. Use the "Flag as high priority" feature to ensure you review these more frequently.
Expert Study Strategy
For maximum learning efficiency, try the "active recall before viewing" technique:
Before flipping the card, say or write down your answer
This forces your brain to work harder at retrieval, strengthening neural connections.
Compare your answer to the correct one
Note any differences or missing elements in your answer.
Create connections to other concepts
After seeing the correct answer, try to mentally connect it to other related concepts you've learned.
