German AI flashcard maker
Turn a PDF, notes or a slide deck into flashcards written in German, then review them with spaced repetition. Every card comes from the material you upload.
Free to start, no credit card. The Free plan includes one lifetime AI Creation Credit.
Direct answer
Can AI make flashcards in German from my notes?
Yes. Upload the material, set the output language to German, and Scholarly writes question-and-answer cards from it in German. Review and edit the deck, then study it with SM-2 spaced repetition in Scholarly.
- 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 German is handled: Cards are written in German, whether the source is in German or in English. To learn German itself, upload your own vocabulary list or course chapter and the cards come from it. Narration uses a German voice. The speech engine is told the language explicitly instead of guessing it from the text.
- What each plan gets: Free includes one AI Creation Credit and one upload of up to 8 MB. Premium ($30/mo) includes 15 AI Creation Credits a week and uploads up to 300 MB.

Language details
How Scholarly handles German
What changes when the output language is German, taken from how the speech and rendering pipeline actually works.
Voice
Narration uses a German voice. The speech engine is told the language explicitly instead of guessing it from the text.
Script and layout
Latin script, left to right, including umlauts and ß. Titles, captions and the transcript are written in German along with the narration.
Variants in the picker
The picker lists German, Austrian German and Swiss German. The variants shape the written script; all three are narrated with the same standard German voice.
Check before you share
Decide between Sie and du before you generate and say so in the instructions, so the whole module uses one form of address.
Where it is used
Who makes German material like this
Training for teams in Germany, Austria and Switzerland

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can my source be in English and the output in German?
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 German in the creation panel, and the script, text and narration are written in German. Leave the setting on Auto and Scholarly follows the language of the source instead.
Can I choose between formal and informal German?
Yes. Add a short instruction such as "address the viewer as Sie" or "use du" when you create, and the script follows it throughout.
Is the German 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 German?
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 German course or word list.
Is Scholarly's interface available in German?
Not yet. The app itself is in English or Japanese, but what you create can be in German: pick it once as your default output language in Settings, or per creation in the language row of the creation panel.
