Flashka

Flashka is an AI study assistant built by an Estonian team. Hand a PDF, a photo, a document, or even a one-line topic to the AI tutor Professor Ka and it automatically generates flashcards, image-occlusion cards, and quizzes, then schedules reviews with FSRS spaced repetition — designed for exam-prepping students who do not want to fiddle with settings.

Core capabilities

• Multi-source card creation: Upload a PDF, snap slides or a photo, paste text, or describe a topic directly — get a usable deck in seconds
• Image occlusion: Cover regions of anatomy diagrams, charts, and maps to build picture-based flashcards; friendly to visual learners
• FSRS spaced repetition: The team says it uses the FSRS algorithm, scheduling reviews with Again/Hard/Good/Easy
• AI tutor Professor Ka: Explanations in 20+ languages, 5 chat modes, web search, and mind-map generation
• Quizzes and mock exams: AI generates multiple-choice, true/false, and open-ended questions, including Exam Simulation and explanations of missed questions
• Speaking exams + Anki interoperability: 3 speaking modes, Anki import/export, and LaTeX notes exported to PDF

Who it is for European university students who focus on memorization, terminology, and diagrams (medicine, biology, chemistry, languages, intro law, engineering fundamentals) and exam-prepping students, plus learners migrating from handwriting or Anki who dislike tweaking settings. If you rely on shared deck libraries or need deep scheduling customization, Quizlet or Anki will suit you better.

What sets it apart Compared with Anki's steep learning curve and Quizlet's tightening free tier, Flashka bundles the very short path from material to a reviewable deck with a built-in AI tutor, quizzes, speaking exams, and SRS. Going from upload to a usable deck usually takes under 1 minute, making it a time-saver for people tired of configuration.

Editor's take App store reception is solid (Google Play 4.4★/~2.8K, App Store US 4.8★/364), but Trustpilot has only 7 reviews (3.6/5), and structured review platforms such as G2/Capterra/PH/Reddit still have few samples. The only identifiable concentrated complaint is about billing and tightening free allowances, and that sample is too small to be more than a hint. Product strength and growth are notable, making it a good fit for students who want to save time; note that AI-generated cards still need human review, and be careful when uploading sensitive material.
