What happens to your notes

  • 01

    Sorted into sections

    Scattered bullet points become an overview, key concepts, terms and details, in a logical order instead of lecture order.

  • 02

    Your wording kept

    Technical terms, names and symbols stay as you wrote them, so the guide matches your class and your textbook.

  • 03

    Questions added

    Review questions test understanding, not just recall, with answers taken from your notes on a separate list.

  • 04

    Gaps flagged

    Anything your notes mention but do not explain is listed to check in your textbook, instead of being guessed.

How to turn notes into a study guide

  1. 01

    Gather one topic

    Copy the notes for one lecture, unit or chapter.

  2. 02

    Paste and choose a depth

    Quick for a recap, standard for a full review, detailed for exam preparation.

  3. 03

    Review and fill gaps

    Read the guide, then look up the items under Check in your textbook.

Why turn notes into a study guide?

Notes follow the order a lecture happened in, with shorthand, side remarks and repeats. A study guide reorganizes the same material by idea: what the topic is, which concepts matter, which terms to define and what you should be able to answer.

Reviewing that structure is faster than rereading pages of notes, and the review questions turn passive reading into self-testing, which is where most of the learning happens.

What makes notes work well

The guide can only use what you paste, so:

  • Keep definitions and formulas exactly as given in class
  • Include the lecturer's examples, not only the headings
  • Paste one lecture or chapter per guide
  • Leave out reminders, to-do lists and unrelated notes

Other formats from the same notes

The same notes can also become an outline, flashcards, a practice quiz, a key terms list or a one-page summary. Switch the format and create again; each request is charged separately, so pick the format you will actually study from.

Notes to study guide FAQ

Can it read handwritten notes?

Not directly: the tool takes typed or pasted text. Type your handwritten notes, or copy the text from a photo with your phone's text recognition, then paste it in and check it for errors.

My notes are messy and full of abbreviations. Will it work?

Usually, yes. Fragments, bullet points and shorthand are fine. If an abbreviation is unclear, the guide keeps it as written and may list it under Check in your textbook rather than guess.

How long should my notes be?

At least 50 and at most 4,000 words per request. One lecture or chapter at a time gives the clearest guide; notes under 300 words cost the 300-credit minimum.

How much does it cost?

1 purchased credit per word of notes, with a 300-credit minimum per request: $0.17 to $0.50 for 1,000 words, depending on the plan or pack. Packs start at $4.99. Registration is free, and there are no free credits.
