Flashcards for journalists

Revise without making the cards.

Turn a story file into a deck without writing the cards. The questions come out of what you captured yourself, which is the version that matters for the copy.
A deck generated from a single note in one step
Review inside the app on desktop or phone
Cards stay attached to the note they came from
Decks sync across your devices with a Pro plan
The slow part is done for you
Writing the cards is what stops most people revising. Not anymore.
Ten minutes is enough
Short review sessions on the phone beat one long night before the exam.
Straight from your notes
No stranger on the internet deciding what matters in your course.

Three things that stop being a problem

Feature lists are easy to write and hard to care about. This is what changes for journalists.
The quote is text before you are back at the desk
Record on the phone, get the transcript in the note, and pull the line you need straight into the draft.
Reopen a story you dropped in March
Ask your notes what you had on a subject and get the answer with the note attached.
Keep the background in the same place as the copy
Documents, PDFs, links and your own notes sit in one folder rather than four apps.
In practice

What that looks like for journalists

A few moments in a normal week where the app earns its place.
In the field
Record, tag the note with the story slug, and move on to the next call.
Back at the desk
Read the transcript, mark the usable quotes and draft in the same note.
Six months later
Search the archive by what happened rather than what you named the file.
