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, get questions out
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. Try the real app now, free!
This browser tool uses text rules, not AI, and it cannot see your screen: type what the slide says and the lines become questions. Reading the screenshot itself and writing reasoned questions from it is the app's job.
Why screenshots are the easiest capture to quiz
A screenshot skips every failure mode a camera has: no glare, no angle, no spine shadow, no blur, because the image never passed through a lens. Every character arrives as crisp as the screen drew it. That leaves only one quality question, what is inside the frame, which is why cropping is the entire craft here, and why a cropped slide converts to questions about as reliably as a typed page.
Crop to the claim, not the chrome
Full screen captures drag along browser tabs, taskbars, chat windows and the presenter's webcam, none of which should become a question. Crop to the slide's content area before or after capture; most systems screenshot a selected region in one shortcut. If a slide is half image, crop to the half that claims something. The question generator reads what you give it, so give it only the material.
Slide bullets quiz differently than prose
Slides compress: a bullet is a claim with its connective tissue removed, which quizzes cleanly when the bullet is complete, "GDP counts final goods only", and poorly when it is a bare noun phrase, "double counting". Screenshot the slides whose bullets assert something; for the bare keyword slides, the lecture's talk carried the content, and your notes from it are the source that has it.
The batch habit that converts a course
Screenshots accumulate anyway; the habit that converts them is a weekly sweep: after the last lecture, push the week's captures through the app in lecture order and answer the fresh sets before the weekend. Ordered batches keep questions grouped by lecture, so a miss stays diagnosable: knowing that Tuesday's slides went badly is something you can act on, and a shuffled pile tells you nothing.
Shared PDFs viewed on screen count too
Half of screenshot studying is not slides at all: it is pages of shared PDFs, readings in a viewer you cannot download from, a friend's document open in chat. If it renders on your screen, it captures, and a capture quizzes. For anything you can save as an actual file, prefer the PDF route, whole chapters at once beat page by page; the screenshot is for what refuses to be a file.
Where this sits in WeSolve+
Send the screenshot to the app and choose questions; the same capture can become flashcards, audio or a summary. Misses feed weak topic analysis and return on schedule. The deck that scrolled past on Tuesday asks you back on Thursday, which is the whole point of having kept it.
| Captured | Quizzes | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Complete claim bullets | Very well | The ideal slide |
| Bare keyword bullets | Poorly | Your notes carry the content |
| Slide tables | Well | Crop to the table |
| Diagrams | Labels only | Add one written sentence |
| Browser chrome, webcam | Should not | Crop it out |
| Shared PDF pages | Well | Prefer the file when possible |

How do I turn a screenshot into a quiz?
Send the capture to the WeSolve+ app and choose questions as the output. The slide's claims become questions with reasoning attached.
Why are screenshots such good sources?
They are born digital: no glare, angle or blur, every character crisp. The only quality factor left is what you include in the frame.
What should I crop out?
Everything that is not the material: browser tabs, taskbars, chat, the presenter's webcam. Crop to the slide's content area.
Which slides are worth capturing?
The ones whose bullets assert complete claims. Bare keyword slides quiz poorly; their content lives in your lecture notes.
How do I handle a whole week of captures?
One weekly sweep in lecture order: batched sets stay grouped by lecture, which keeps misses diagnosable.
Does the browser tool on this page see my screen?
No, it is a typed text helper using rules. Reading the screenshot itself is the app's job.
