Which notes can you turn into a quiz with AI?

Lecture notes

The notes you typed during class, half sentences and all. Synt reads past the shorthand and writes one question per concept the lecture actually covered.

Handwritten pages

Take a photo of your notebook and Synt reads the handwriting before writing the questions. No need to type anything up first.

Reading notes and study guides

The summary you wrote of a chapter, or the study guide the professor handed out, become a quiz that checks whether you can explain each point without looking.

Your own summaries

Every summary you make with the AI summarizer can become a quiz in one tap — and every missed question can become a card in the flashcard maker.

How to go from notes to quiz in three steps

Paste your notes or photograph the page

Paste the text of your notes into Synt, or take a photo of the notebook page. A single lecture or the whole unit — the quiz scales with what you give it.

Student reviewing the results of a quiz made from their notes

Example: from lecture notes to a quiz question

Real notes are shorthand, arrows and half sentences. Here is the kind of question Synt writes from five lines of economics notes.

The notes

Econ 101 – wk 5 – price elasticity
- PED = %Δ quantity demanded / %Δ price
- |PED| > 1 → elastic (luxuries, many substitutes)
- |PED| < 1 → inelastic (insulin, gasoline in the short run)
- elastic good: price ↑ → total revenue ↓

The question

According to the notes, what happens to total revenue when the price of an elastic good rises?

AIt rises

BIt falls

CIt stays the same

DIt rises only in the short run

Correct: B. Your notes say it in the last line: elastic good, price ↑ → total revenue ↓.

Arrows, abbreviations and missing verbs are fine: the questions come out in full sentences, with the terms your course uses.

Notes to Quiz FAQ

How do I turn my notes into a quiz?

Paste the text of your notes into Synt, or take a photo of the page. The AI reads the material, picks the concepts worth testing and writes a multiple-choice quiz with answers, all based on what you wrote.

Is notes to quiz free?

Yes — in your browser at app.synt.app or as an app on iOS and Android. You can generate your first practice quizzes without paying; Pro unlocks unlimited generations and longer documents.

Can I use it on my computer, without installing anything?

Yes. Go to app.synt.app in any browser, create a free account and you get the same summaries, quizzes and flashcards as in the app; your material syncs between your phone and your computer.

Does it work with handwritten notes?

Yes. Photograph the page and Synt reads the handwriting before writing the questions. Clear handwriting and good light make the quiz more accurate.

Are the questions really based on my notes?

Yes — that is the difference from quiz sites and shared decks. Every question, answer and distractor comes from the material you provide, so you practice exactly what your exam covers, in the words your course uses.

My notes are a mess. Will the quiz still make sense?

Usually yes: Synt reads past shorthand and half sentences. If the notes are missing the context, the quiz will show it — that is useful information too. Taking notes with the Cornell system makes the questions sharper, and our guide on taking notes with AI shows how to fill the gaps.

When should I quiz myself on my notes?

The same day, for five minutes, and again a few days later on the questions you missed. That spacing is what turns notes into memory — see active recall and spaced repetition for the schedule.

Can an app quiz me on my notes?

Yes — that is what Synt does. Add your notes on your phone or in your browser and it quizzes you on them: 20 multiple-choice questions per quiz, your score at the end and the misses to go back to.

Can I build a question bank from my notes?

Yes. Every quiz is saved with the notes it came from, so over a term your lectures turn into a bank of practice questions you can retake before the exam — and share with a 6-character code.

Can I make a quiz from a PDF of my notes?

Yes. With Synt Pro you upload the whole PDF; you can also paste the text of the pages you need or take a photo of them. To get the key points of a long PDF first, use the PDF summarizer.
