## Description

FlashWave supercharges your study sessions by converting highlighted text, PDFs, or lecture notes into high‑quality flashcards using AI. FlashWave saves you hours of manual flashcard creation so you can focus on learning, not copying and pasting.

Key features:
• One‑click flashcard generation - Highlight and right click some text then press "Generate Flashcards with AI"; FlashWave returns concise Q&A flashcards in seconds.
• Cards can be exported in a format compatible with Anki and Quizlet. You can also import cards into FlashWave.
