Free to start, no credit card. The Free plan includes one lifetime AI Creation Credit.
Direct answer
Can AI make flashcards in French from my notes?
Yes. Upload the material, set the output language to French, and Scholarly writes question-and-answer cards from it in French. Review and edit the deck, then study it with SM-2 spaced repetition in Scholarly.
- Free plan: One lifetime AI Creation Credit and one upload (up to 8 MB; the first 32 pages of a PDF are read), enough for one French deck studied with SM-2 spaced repetition. Anki export is paid. No credit card.
- Paid plans: Premium ($30/mo in US dollars, lower local prices in some countries) includes 15 AI Creation Credits a week, uploads up to 300 MB and Anki export. Laureate ($99/mo) includes 80 credits a week.
- What goes in: PDFs, typed or handwritten notes, images, slide decks, website links, YouTube videos or pasted text.
- What comes out: An editable deck with a question on the front and a grounded answer on the back, studied with SM-2 spaced repetition. Anki export is on paid plans.
- How French is handled: Cards are written in French, whether the source is in French or in English. To learn French itself, upload your own vocabulary list or course chapter and the cards come from it. Narration is spoken by a multilingual voice that is told to speak French, or Canadian French when you pick it, and asked for native pronunciation.

Language details
How Scholarly handles French
What changes when the output language is French, taken from how the speech and rendering pipeline actually works.
Voice
Narration is spoken by a multilingual voice that is told to speak French, or Canadian French when you pick it, and asked for native pronunciation.
Script and layout
Latin script, left to right. Titles, captions and the transcript are written in French along with the narration.
Variants in the picker
The picker lists French and Canadian French. Choose Canadian French for Quebec vocabulary and spelling in the script and to name Canadian French to the narrator.
Check before you share
Terms differ between France and Quebec. Pick the entry that matches your audience and check product and legal terms in the first scenes.
Where it is used
Who makes French material like this
Training for France, Belgium, Switzerland and Canada

Teams across francophone Africa
Onboarding and product training for teams in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Senegal or Côte d'Ivoire, made from the same source as the English version.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can my source be in English and the output in French?
Yes. The source and the output do not have to share a language. Upload an English PDF, deck or recording, set the output language to French in the creation panel, and the script, text and narration are written in French. Leave the setting on Auto and Scholarly follows the language of the source instead.
Does it support Canadian French?
Yes. Canadian French is its own entry in the picker: the script follows Quebec vocabulary and spelling, and the narrator is told to speak Canadian French.
Is the French flashcard maker free?
You can try it free: the Free plan includes one AI Creation Credit and one upload of up to 8 MB. Premium includes 15 AI Creation Credits a week, larger uploads and Anki export.
Can I use it to learn French?
Yes, from your own material. Upload the vocabulary list, textbook chapter or class notes you are studying and the cards are written from it, so the deck matches your course. Scholarly does not ship a ready-made French course or word list.
Is Scholarly's interface available in French?
Yes. Scholarly's interface is available in French: choose Français as your app language in Settings › Appearance › App language, and new accounts open in it when your browser asks for it. What you create has its own output language: pick French once as your default in Settings, or per creation in the language row of the creation panel.
