Why turn images into flashcards
A huge chunk of course content lives as images: blackboard shots, scanned handwritten notes, slide screenshots, diagrams from textbooks, exercise photos. You accumulate them in your gallery or a folder, but rarely revise them seriously because exploiting them takes time.
Diane solves this with accurate OCR plus AI able to understand visual structure. Drop the images, Diane extracts content and generates a flashcard deck. Your photos become an active study tool.
Handwriting OCR
Diane's OCR is tuned for legible handwriting. Accuracy depends on writing quality and photo clarity, but is high for cleanly-taken notes. Common abbreviations are recognized.
For truly cursive or abbreviated writing, AI may ask for confirmation on ambiguous words before generating cards. You confirm uncertain elements in seconds.
Diagrams and charts
Beyond text, Diane understands visual structure: labeled diagrams, charts, flowcharts, concept maps. For these visuals, AI can generate identification flashcards ("What is element X in this diagram?") using the image as support.
The image is kept and shown on the flashcard. You see the original diagram during review, very useful for visual memorization (anatomy, electronic schematics, geographic maps).
Multi-image grouping
If you photograph a whole course in several shots (blackboard pages over a lecture for example), drop all photos at once. Diane detects the logical order, merges content and produces a single coherent deck instead of one per photo.
Use cases
Students: photograph the blackboard at lecture end to convert immediately, scan a classmate's notes when absent, exploit online course screenshots. Medicine: exploit anatomical diagrams. Languages: photograph vocabulary lists from a textbook.
