This page covers capturing in order, what a deck summary can honestly contain, and the check that keeps its smoothness from fooling you.
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 deck's lines in, keep the key ones
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: it keeps the key lines of what you type, nothing rewritten, a fair preview of a deck condensed. Reading the screenshots themselves and writing the lecture's one page is the app's job.
Why decks review badly and summaries fix it
Reviewing a deck means swiping through images whose order you half remember, each slide a fragment stripped of the sentence that connected it to the last. Twenty minutes later you have seen everything and revised nothing. The summary inverts that: one page, claims in sequence, readable in five minutes and checkable in ten. The deck stays as the source; the page becomes the review surface.
Capture in order, because order is the argument
A lecture's structure lives in its sequence, problem before solution, cause before consequence, and the summary inherits structure from your capture order. Screenshot the content slides as the lecture runs or from the shared deck afterward, in order, skipping agendas and dividers at capture time. The two second judgement per slide, does it claim anything, is the same filter the quiz route uses.
What a deck summary honestly contains
Slides state conclusions and drop the spoken reasoning, so a deck's summary is a sequence of claims, not a transcript of the lecture: it contains what was projected, ordered and merged, with repeated claims collapsed. The reasoning between claims lives in your notes' summary, and the two pages together, deck claims plus notebook reasoning, reconstruct the lecture more honestly than either alone.
The smoothness check, deck edition
A deck summary reads especially smoothly because slides were written to be agreed with. The check stays the same: close the page and expand each claim aloud, or answer questions from the same captures and let misses mark the slides you only recognised. Five minutes of reading plus ten of answering beats thirty of swiping through the deck nodding.
Weekly rhythm: decks in, pages out
The habit scales by week: after the last lecture, push each course's captures through the summary output and file the pages. A term becomes a dozen pages per course, revisable in an evening, with each page's source deck one tap behind it for anything that needs the original wording. Exam season then starts from pages, not from camera rolls, which is the difference between reviewing and archaeology.
Where this sits in WeSolve+
Send the captures to the app in order and choose the summary output; the same screenshots feed cards, questions and audio, and weak topic analysis watches which lectures' questions keep missing. Free tier included. The deck scrolled past once; the page it becomes keeps working all term.
| In the deck | In the summary | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Claim bullets | Kept, in order | The page's substance |
| Repeated claims | Merged once | Returns collapse |
| Agenda, dividers | Dropped | Skip at capture |
| Diagram slides | Labels noted | Relations need your notes |
| Spoken reasoning | Absent | Notebook summary carries it |
| Lecture order | Inherited from capture order | Shoot in sequence |

How do I summarise a slide deck?
Screenshot the content slides in order, send them to the WeSolve+ app, and choose the summary output: one page of the deck's claims in sequence.
Why not just review the slides themselves?
Forty fragments swipe badly: everything gets seen, nothing gets revised. One ordered page reads in five minutes and checks in ten.
Does the summary include what the lecturer said?
No, only what the slides state. Pair it with your notes' summary; the two together reconstruct the lecture honestly.
Which slides should I leave out?
Agendas, dividers, joke slides: anything that claims nothing. The two second filter per slide is whether it asserts something checkable.
How do I keep a smooth summary from fooling me?
Expand each claim aloud with the page closed, or answer questions from the same captures and let the misses mark the recognised but unlearned slides.
Does the browser tool on this page read my screenshots?
No, it keeps key lines from typed text by rule. Reading the captures is the app's job.
