# Photograph a page, get flashcards

Full agent brief: https://www.pupilbot.com/llms.txt

Photograph handwritten notes, a textbook page, a handout or a slide. PupilBot reads the image, writes flashcards and grades your answers.

## How it works

1. **Take the photo.** Use the in-app camera or gallery; one study can contain several pages, up to 50.
2. **OCR reads it, the AI writes the cards.** Extracted text is split into topics and becomes flash cards and questions, usually in about a minute.
3. **Practise, get graded, review on time.** Answer in your own words; AI grades against a reference and spaced repetition schedules the return.

## A worked example

> Sleep is not just a period of rest. While you sleep, the brain continues to process information from the day. It strengthens useful connections, organizes new memories, and makes some information easier to recall later.

- **What is one important thing the brain does with new information during sleep?** It strengthens and organizes memories.
- **What are the two repeating stages of normal sleep?** Non-REM sleep and REM sleep.
- **Why can sleeping after learning help?** It can help stabilize and strengthen new memories.
- **How can sleeping after you learn something help your memory?** It helps stabilize and strengthen new memories so they are easier to recall later.

## Tips for a clean read

- Fill the frame and keep the camera parallel to the page.
- Use even light without a shadow; daylight or a desk lamp works better than a phone torch.
- Use one page per photo; several photos can form one study.
- For a slide deck, export and import a PDF instead of photographing the screen.

## Frequently asked questions

1. **What kinds of images work?** Handwritten notes, printed pages, handouts, whiteboards and slides in JPEG, PNG or HEIC.
2. **Does it work with screenshots?** Yes. For a whole deck, PDF import is faster.
3. **Is my photo stored?** Uploads are stored privately so the study can be rebuilt; delete the study at any time. See https://www.pupilbot.com/privacy.
4. **Can I add more pages later?** A study is built from its original pages; start another study for new pages.
5. **How is this different from a flashcard app?** PupilBot writes cards from the photo and AI-grades your typed answer rather than asking you to self-grade.
6. **Is it free?** PupilBot is free to start. A paid subscription unlocks more usage; web, iPhone and Telegram use the same account.
