This page covers which slides convert, the two minute habit that makes it automatic, and where cards from slides need your notes' help.
WeSolve+ reads the whole document and writes the questions for you
Upload your PDF, photograph your notebook, or point the camera. WeSolve+ writes questions from that material, explains why each answer is right, reads the chapter back to you as a podcast, and remembers every item you missed until you own it.
The tool below is a small browser-only tool and it is not WeSolve+: paste a few lines and text rules turn them into cards on the spot. The real app, the one that uses AI, is behind the link above.
Type the slide in, keep it as cards
This is a browser-only tool, and that is all it isIt splits the text you paste by rule, and nothing else. WeSolve+ is a different thing entirely: it reads your whole PDF with AI, writes the reasoning behind every question, speaks the chapter back to you, and remembers what you missed so it can return it.

This browser tool uses text rules, not AI, and it cannot see your screen: type the slide's lines and definition lines become cards. Reading the screenshot itself, writing the cards and scheduling them is the app's job.
Bullets are almost cards, and that is the opportunity
A well made slide states one claim per bullet, which is precisely the one fact per card rule flashcards demand. The conversion is short because the compression already happened: the lecturer did it while making the deck. Screenshots deliver those bullets undistorted, born digital, no glare or angle, so the card generator works from exactly what the room saw. Few study pipelines are this frictionless end to end.
Which slides convert, and which waste a card
Definition bullets, law statements, dated events and named steps convert cleanly. Agenda slides, section dividers and the lecturer's joke slide convert into clutter, skip them at capture time and the deck stays lean. The judgement takes one second per slide: does this bullet assert something checkable? If it only names a topic, the substance was spoken, and your notes hold it, not the screen.
The two minute habit after class
Decks die in camera rolls because conversion waits for a mythical free evening. The habit that works is immediate and tiny: walking out of the lecture, push the day's captures through the app and let the cards join the schedule before lunch. Two minutes, done standing. The term then builds a deck continuously instead of demanding one heroic weekend that never comes.
Cards from slides inherit slide gaps
Slides compress by dropping the connective reasoning the lecturer spoke aloud, so slide cards test facts, not the why between them. Pair them with questions from the same captures, which probe relations, or with cards from your own notes where the spoken reasoning survived in writing. A deck of slide facts plus a thin layer of why cards covers what the exam splits across both.
The schedule does the remembering
Once converted, the deck stops being your problem: spaced repetition returns each card near its forgetting point, stretching intervals on hits and shrinking them on misses. Tuesday's bullets resurface Thursday, then next week, then before the exam, invisible bookkeeping you never schedule by hand. The screenshot took two seconds; the remembering is now automated for the term.
Where this sits in WeSolve+
Send captures to the app and choose flashcards; the same screenshots can become questions, audio or a summary. Cards join your deck alongside those from photographed pages and PDFs, one schedule across every source. Free tier included; the two minute habit is yours to add.
| Slide | Converts | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Definition bullet | Cleanly | The ideal case |
| Law or formula stated | Cleanly | One law, one card |
| Dated event | Cleanly | Works both directions |
| Agenda or divider | Into clutter | Skip at capture |
| Bare keyword bullet | Poorly | Your notes hold the substance |
| Diagram slide | Labels only | Pair with a question |

How do I turn a screenshot into flashcards?
Send the capture to the WeSolve+ app and choose flashcards. Each bullet becomes a card with its answer and a return schedule.
Why do slides convert to cards so well?
Slide making already compressed the material to one claim per bullet, which is the one fact per card rule flashcards demand.
Which slides should I skip?
Agendas, dividers and topic name slides: they assert nothing checkable. Capture the slides whose bullets make claims.
When should I convert the captures?
Immediately after class, two minutes standing: the term then builds a deck continuously instead of waiting for a free weekend.
What do slide cards miss?
The spoken reasoning between facts. Pair them with questions from the same captures or cards from your own notes.
Does the browser tool on this page see my screen?
No, it is a typed text helper using rules. Reading the screenshot is the app's job.
