Word to flashcards

Turn a Word document into cards without retyping your notes.

What works

WakeCards supports Word documents with text content, including .docx files. Headings, bullet lists, and paragraphs are read as text. Very complex layouts, embedded images, and text inside shapes may not come through cleanly. Text files (.txt) and Markdown (.md) files are also supported. Pasting text is not supported; upload the file instead.

How to get good cards

Limits and credits

What you get

Question-and-answer cards with an explanation, plus an everyday example and source snippets when available. You rate each card yourself after you try to recall it, and return to the deck manually. Check important facts against your source.

Worked example: you upload a Word file on project management. WakeCards writes a card asking what a critical path is. You answer from memory, reveal the explanation, rate yourself, and come back to the deck later. See how it works or read the FAQ.

Make flashcards from your notes

Save typed lecture notes as a DOCX, TXT or Markdown file. Use headings for topics and keep definitions beside their explanations. Upload a short section first and verify the questions before studying.

Can I paste my notes?

Not currently. Save them to a supported file and upload that file.

Can I use Google Docs?

Export your document first; WakeCards does not import a Google Docs link. Follow the Google Docs export tutorial.

Is there a detailed Word walkthrough?

Read the Word-to-flashcards study method, or use the PDF workflow for selectable-text PDFs.
