How to turn a lecture recording into flashcards and a quiz

By Rony Fadel, founder of Spiik. Updated November 1, 2026.

The short answer

Record or import the lecture in Spiik, wait for the transcript, then tap AI Tools and choose Flashcards. You can generate a quiz, a mind map and structured notes from the same recording. Each opens in its own tab next to the transcript, and every card comes from what your professor actually said.

From lecture to flashcards

  1. Tap the microphone on the home screen, check the language, and tap the red button to record. Or import an existing recording from Files.
  2. Tap stop when class ends. Spiik runs the recording through its higher-quality transcriber.
  3. Open the transcribed recording and tap AI Tools.
  4. Choose Flashcards. Then do the same for Quiz, Mind Map or Structured Notes.
  5. Switch between tabs at any time, and tap ↻ to generate a new version.

A study routine that works

  1. Right after class, skim the structured notes and tap anything unclear to hear it again.
  2. That evening, take the quiz. Getting something wrong shows you what to review.
  3. Before the exam, go through the flashcards, and ask the chat anything you still don't get.
Amazing app, super helpful and still learning the material. Lots of ways to study the notes.Cora bick, App Store review

Ask for permission if your university requires it, and always check AI-generated study material against your course notes. See how Spiik compares with other lecture apps.
