Flashcard generator
Cloze Deletion Generator
Create fill-in-the-blank flashcards from notes, PDFs, textbook sections, and exam outlines. Use cloze cards for definitions, formulas, pathways, dates, and high-yield facts.
Quick answer
What is a cloze deletion generator?
A cloze deletion generator turns source material into fill-in-the-blank flashcards. Instead of writing separate question-and-answer cards, it hides key terms inside a sentence so you practice recalling the missing concept in context.
Add source material
Use notes, PDFs, pasted text, or an existing study outline.
Generate cloze cards
Scholarly identifies high-yield terms, formulas, and relationships to hide.
Study or export
Edit the cards, study them in Scholarly, or use Anki-compatible workflows.
Best cloze card use cases
Medical facts
Hide anatomy terms, mechanisms, criteria, and drug details.
Formulas

Language learning
Recall vocabulary and grammar in sentence context.
History and law
Memorize dates, holdings, standards, and named doctrines.
Input
PDFs, notes, pasted text, outlines, and study guides.
Output
Fill-in-the-blank flashcards you can edit and review.
Best for
Memorizing high-yield details in context.
Cloze cards are strong when context matters
A regular card asks a direct question. A cloze card keeps the sentence and hides the important piece, which is useful for formulas, definitions, pathways, and exam facts that need context.
Built for AI-assisted editing
AI can draft the first set quickly, but you still control the deck. Edit wording, add hints, remove weak cards, and keep only what you actually want to memorize.
Works with PDF and Anki workflows
Start from PDF to Flashcards or PDF to Anki Cards when the source is a document, then use cloze-style cards where fill-in-the-blank recall is stronger than a basic question.

Flashcard workflows
Generate, edit, export, and study active-recall cards.
