Turn a Photo of Your Notes Into Flashcards

Snap a picture of your handwritten notes, a textbook page, or a whiteboard and Brainfy reads it with OCR, then drafts AI flashcards from what it finds — review and keep the ones you want.

Built for the notes you never typed up

Most of your studying lives on paper, slides, and whiteboards — not in a tidy text file. Brainfy uses vision-based OCR to read images, so a photo of your messy lecture notes becomes a clean question-answer deck without retyping a word.

How it works

1

Snap or upload a photo

Handwritten notes, a textbook page, or a whiteboard shot all work. No signup needed to try.

2

OCR reads the image

Brainfy extracts the text from your photo, including handwriting it can recognise.

3

AI drafts the cards

It turns the extracted text into question-answer flashcards you can edit, keep, and study with spaced repetition.

Tips for the best read

Frequently asked questions

Does it work with handwriting?

Yes — the vision OCR can read legible handwriting. Clearer writing and a well-lit, straight-on photo give the best results; always skim the draft cards and fix any misreads.

What can I photograph?

Handwritten notes, printed textbook or slide pages, and whiteboards all work. Try to capture one section per photo for cleaner cards.

Is the photo data private?

Brainfy is privacy-first. Your image is processed to read the text and draft cards; the resulting deck is yours and exports to CSV anytime.

Can I edit the cards afterwards?

Yes — every card is editable before it enters your deck, so you can correct any OCR slips and trim what you do not need.

Is it free?

Yes — free during beta, no ads, no signup needed to try.
