What Anki is good at
Anki is free, open source, and the most respected spaced-repetition system there is. Medical students in particular build their whole revision around it.
Use Anki for
Long-term retention of a large deck, with total control over scheduling.
Where students need more
- You write every card yourself, which is slow — that is the price of the control.
- It schedules cards; it does not explain anything.
- Getting your PDFs into cards is manual work.
Switching from Anki
Where StudiSpace is the better fit for the same coursework, and where Anki still is.
Switch if
- Making the cards is the reason you have not started revising.
- You want notes and practice from the same PDF, not only cards.
- You want something to explain a card you have forgotten the logic of.
Stay with Anki if
- You already have a working Anki habit and a deck you trust.
- You want full control of the scheduling algorithm.
What the switch looks like
- 1Upload the chapter instead of typing cards from it.
- 2Review the generated cards and cut the ones that are not worth knowing.
- 3Use the notes and quiz from the same upload alongside the deck.
- 4Let the review schedule bring back what you keep missing.

Your questions, answered
Is StudiSpace trying to replace Anki?
Not for people who already have a working Anki habit — that is hard to beat for pure retention. StudiSpace is for the step before: getting from a 60-page PDF to cards, notes and practice without writing each one by hand.
Does StudiSpace use spaced repetition?
Yes, flashcard review is scheduled rather than random.
Can I still make my own cards?
Yes — everything generated is editable, and you can add your own.
Can I still write my own cards?
Yes — everything generated is editable and you can add your own.
Is the scheduling as good as Anki's?
Anki's is more configurable and more studied. Ours schedules review rather than randomising it, which is the part that matters for most courses.
Do I need to create an account to start?
No. You can upload your material and generate study content immediately without registering. You'll only need an account if you want to save your progress.
What types of files can I upload?
We accept PDFs, Word documents, images (PNG, JPG), text files, and you can also paste content directly or share links to videos and articles.
How does the AI Tutor work?
The AI Tutor analyzes your study material and can answer specific questions about that content. They're not generic answers, but based on what you've uploaded.
Are the generated materials editable?
Yes, completely. Everything the AI generates is just a starting point. You can edit, add or reorganize any content as you prefer.
How long does it take to generate the content?
Normally between 10-30 seconds depending on the size of the material and the number of formats you select.
