Convert language PDFs into Anki flashcards
Turn vocab lists, grammar notes, and textbook chapters into Anki cards with audio — built for spaced-repetition vocabulary and sentence mining.
Vocabulary and grammar are exactly what spaced repetition is best at. GuruOwl turns your textbook chapters, vocab lists, and class notes into clean front/back cards — and can attach text-to-speech audio so you drill listening and pronunciation, not just reading.
Generate the first draft from your real course material, prune anything you already know, and export a .apkg that slots into your existing language deck.
Vocab & sentences
Word lists and example sentences become front/back cards; grammar points become cloze cards that test the form in context.
Audio cards
Optional text-to-speech audio per card, with per-script voice detection, so you review pronunciation on mobile.
Editable before export
Every draft card is yours to tighten, merge, or delete against the source — so the final deck is what you actually need to review.
Real .apkg export
Download a standard Anki package — works in Anki Desktop, AnkiMobile, and AnkiDroid; sync from a client to use the deck on AnkiWeb. Or push straight to Anki with one click.
Frequently asked questions
Which languages does it support?
Cards can be generated in five output languages, with audio voices detected per script. Upload material in your target language.
Can cards include audio?
Yes — text-to-speech audio can be attached to cards and travels into the exported .apkg.
Can I edit cards before export?
Always. Review and trim the draft so you only study what you don’t already know.
