    1. The medical pharmacology lecture “CVS 6210 L18 Antiarrhythmic Drugs.pdf” is dragged from Chrome’s downloads onto Synaptic Recall’s upload page, with only Anki selected.
    2. The lecture uploads and Dr. Synapse starts building the deck, counting cards as they are written.
    3. The deck is ready: 32 cards from the lecture, with a Download Anki button.
    4. A card from the deck opens in Anki: “A 71-year-old on day 2 of dofetilide feels faint; QTc 560 ms, then polymorphic VT…”
    5. Show Answer reveals: “Torsades de pointes”
    6. The key term “Torsades de pointes” opens its definition: Polymorphic VT on a long QT, its QRS peaks twisting around the baseline; can degenerate to VF.
    7. Dr. Synapse explains: “Magnesium suppresses the early afterdepolarizations that trigger torsades, so it works even when the serum level is normal. Stop the…”
    8. Anki scrolls down to the lecture slide the card came from: “Torsades de Pointes”.
    9. The view moves onto the slide and a gold box marks the line the answer came from: “First-line: IV magnesium sulfate 2 g, even if serum Mg2+ is normal”.
    10. End card: “Every card cites its slide”, an Upload now button, and “3 free credits · no card needed”.

    Making the cards takes longer than studying them

    Changing fonts and colors, copying notes, even making the cards from your slides is not practicing recall.

    The only thing that is: doing the deck, answering each card from memory before you flip it.

    What every card includes

    We build your deck directly from your source material, so you can spend that time actually practicing active recall.

    • The right number of cards for the material, not one per bullet point
    • The right question for each fact, worded so you can’t answer it by recognition
    • The slide it came from on the card, so you know exactly where the information is
    • A dropdown with a further explanation
    • Key terms highlighted, with what each one means and where the word comes from

    Ready for Anki

    Active recall means trying to answer a question from memory before checking the answer, and Anki gives you that practice one question at a time.

    The deck downloads as an .apkg file that Anki imports.

    How it works

    Upload one lecture as a PDF or PowerPoint.

    The system is three simple steps you do for every one of your lectures:

    • Understand the why behind the information: the Story
    • Memorize with active recall: the Anki deck
    • Apply it to real exam questions: the practice exam
