Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert handwritten notes into flashcards?
RemNote gives you two ways to turn handwritten notes into flashcards. You can drag occlusion boxes over any part of your notes to hide diagrams, formulas, or labels during review. You can also use AI to convert your handwriting into editable text and then generate flashcards automatically.
Both methods let you create cards without leaving your notes, so your study materials stay connected to the original content.
Does spaced repetition work with handwritten flashcards?
Yes. Flashcards created from handwritten notes use the same spaced repetition algorithm as every other card type in RemNote. The system tracks how well you know each card and schedules reviews at the optimal time, right before you would otherwise forget the material.
This applies to both occlusion-based cards made from drawings and diagrams, and text-based cards generated by AI from your handwriting. You spend your study time where it matters most instead of reviewing content you already know.
Can I create flashcards on iPad and review them on my phone?
Yes. RemNote syncs all your notes and flashcards across every device automatically. You can write handwritten notes and create flashcards on your iPad with Apple Pencil, then review those same cards on your phone during a commute or on your computer at home.
The sync happens instantly, so your latest cards are always available wherever you study. This makes it easy to fit flashcard review into spare moments throughout your day.
How accurate is the handwriting-to-text conversion?
RemNote uses advanced AI to recognize and convert handwritten notes into editable text. The conversion handles a wide range of handwriting styles and preserves the structure of your notes, including headings, lists, and key terms.
The resulting text is fully editable, so you can correct any errors and refine the output before generating flashcards. This gives you clean, searchable study materials from content you originally wrote by hand.
Is my data private and secure?
Yes. Your handwritten notes, converted text, and flashcards are securely stored with clear privacy protections. Your content stays in your personal workspace and is not shared publicly or used to train AI models.
RemNote is designed as an offline-first application, meaning your notes are stored locally on your device and available even without an internet connection. When you do connect, data syncs securely across your devices so you always have access to your study materials.
