MyStudyDeck

Snap a photo, get Anki flashcards instantly. On-device OCR + smart word filtering + study mode + PDF import. Just $14.99 once — no subscription.

Turn any photo or PDF into Anki flashcards — then study them right in the app. No typing, no desktop, no account. Everything runs on your iPhone, fully offline.

MyStudyDeck is the fastest way to go from study material to memorized. Scan a page, let on-device OCR and smart filtering pick out the words that matter, auto-translate the backs, study with a swipe — and export standard .apkg decks to Anki when you want.

THREE TAPS. REAL CARDS.

1. Snap a photo (or import a PDF) of your study material
2. Tap the terms you want to learn
3. Study in-app — or export a complete .apkg deck to AnkiMobile

No typing kanji on your phone. No copy-pasting between apps. No desktop required.

STUDY MODE — RIGHT IN THE APP

You no longer have to export to Anki just to review.

• Full study screen with a 3D card-flip animation • Swipe right when you knew it, swipe left to review again • Streak meter tracks your consecutive correct answers • Self-assessment grading: "Didn't know" or "Knew it" • Shuffle mode to mix up your deck • Resume a session right where you left off (within 24h) • Works with all four card types: plain, image, cloze, and multi-field

SMART CARD CREATION

• On-device OCR extracts text from photos instantly — works offline • Smart word filtering uses Apple's NaturalLanguage engine to highlight the important words (nouns, verbs, adjectives, domain terms) and pre-select them • Function words (the, is, a) are hidden by default — tap "Show all words" to reveal everything • Per-word confidence indicators so you can trust the selection • Filtering supports English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Russian (other scripts use length-based filtering) • Apple Translation fills in card backs automatically • Edit any field before saving (front, back, reading, notes)

IMPORT PDFs

• Import PDFs directly from Files, iCloud Drive, or any document provider • Page viewer with thumbnails and range selection (All / This page / Range) • Multi-page extraction with a live progress indicator • Text flows straight into the same smart OCR review pipeline • Up to 50 pages per session

ANKI-COMPATIBLE EXPORT

• Generates standard .apkg files that import cleanly into Anki • Works with AnkiMobile, Anki Desktop, AnkiDroid, and AnkiWeb • Export via the iOS share sheet — AnkiMobile, Files, AirDrop, iCloud Drive, or email • Card images are embedded in the export

BUILT FOR PRIVACY

Your photos, cards, and study data never leave your device. The OCR and translation run on-device. No accounts. No cloud. No tracking. We never see your cards.
