Extract Vocabulary from Images and Photos Automatically

Stop manually typing out words from your physical books. Our Photo to Flashcards feature uses advanced OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to identify words you've highlighted on a page. This is the ultimate tool for readers who want to digitize their physical book vocabulary for Anki or Quizlet.

How Highlighted Image Extraction Works

Simply take a picture of your book page where you have used a highlighter. Our Image to Flashcard generator scans the image to detect marked text, extracts the characters, and fetches the translation for you.

Benefits of OCR Flashcard Generation

Handwriting & Print Support: Works with most printed book fonts across 50+ languages.
Instant Translation: We don't just extract text; we provide high-quality translations using the Google Cloud Translation API.
Visual Memory: Manage your cards in our collection view before exporting them to your favorite SRS (Spaced Repetition System).

Steps to Success

Here's how it works:

- Read books and highlight unfamiliar vocabulary: The fastest way to find unknown vocabulary is by simply reading books and highlighting any words whose translation you don't know. It's best to use a typical colorful highlighter.
- Create flashcards by uploading photos: Just take pictures of your book pages with highlighted words, and the website will create flashcards from them.
- Manage your flashcards: after uploading photos you will be able to view, modify or delete your vocabulary.
- Export your flashcards to Anki or in the form of a printable PDF: Anki is a widely recognized software for flashcards. If you haven't installed Anki yet, you can get it for PC, Android or iOS (free for PC and Android). If you prefer not to use Anki, you can still export your vocabulary in the form of a printable PDF and study it using printed paper flashcards.
