Turn a web article into flashcards, checked against your material
Upload a web article and QuerySpark writes flashcards from what is actually in it, so you can drill the key terms on exactly what your course covers. Any public article URL.

How we read web articles
Paste a link and we fetch the page, strip navigation and ads, and keep the article text, so a Wikipedia entry or an assigned reading becomes a study set in one step.
Get the best results
- Link the specific article, not a site's home page.
- Combine several readings on one topic into one set for synthesis questions.
What your flashcards include
- Term and definition cards for every key concept
- Concept cards that ask why and how, not only what
- Cards sized to your material: a short reading gets a short deck
- Spaced repetition built in: no deck settings to configure
How you study them
Flip, rate how well you knew it, and move on. Cards you find hard return sooner; cards you know well fade out until just before you would forget them.
Best for: vocabulary and definitions, formulas and dates, daily ten-minute review.
Things that trip people up with web articles
- Paywalled and login-only pages cannot be fetched. Copy the text and paste it instead.
- Pages that load their text with heavy scripts may come back short; pasting works there too.
