LaTeX flashcard maker
ExamTeX generates flashcards with properly typeset mathematical notation — fractions, integrals, matrices, Greek symbols — directly from your course materials. Upload a lecture PDF, slides, or notes, and the AI writes the cards with the LaTeX already in place, rendered with KaTeX. No syntax to learn, no TeX installation, and a built-in SM-2 spaced repetition schedule for reviewing what it makes.
How it works
1. Upload your materials
PDF lecture notes, PowerPoint slides, or Word documents. The math in your materials is recognized and preserved.
2. The AI writes typeset cards
Every formula comes back as rendered notation, not plain text. A derivative is displayed as a derivative, a matrix as a matrix.
3. Review, edit, and study
Generated cards are a first draft — edit anything, then study with the built-in spaced repetition queue that schedules each card individually.
What makes it different
Real LaTeX rendering
Cards render with KaTeX, the same engine used by serious math tools. Subscripts, limits, integrals, and aligned equations display the way a textbook prints them.
No syntax to learn
You never type a delimiter. The AI writes the LaTeX from your materials; you only edit if you want to change something.
Spaced repetition built in
Each card is scheduled with the SM-2 algorithm based on how you answer, so reviews focus on what you are about to forget.
Practice exams from the same upload
The same materials can generate a printable, LaTeX-compiled practice exam with an answer key — flashcards for retention, mock papers for exam conditioning.
Prefer to write LaTeX by hand?
If you enjoy authoring cards yourself, two good options exist and we recommend them honestly. Anki has MathJax support built in — our guide covers the setup, syntax, and the cloze-deletion gotcha. And if you want printable paper flashcards, the Overleaf template gallery has free LaTeX flashcard templates you can compile yourself.
ExamTeX is for the third case: you have a semester of course materials, an exam coming, and better uses for the authoring hours.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to know LaTeX to use this?
No. The AI generates the LaTeX from your uploaded materials and the app renders it automatically. If you do know LaTeX, you can edit any card’s notation directly — the editor accepts standard syntax and shows a live preview.
What math notation is supported?
Everything KaTeX renders: fractions, integrals, derivatives, sums, limits, matrices, Greek letters, subscripts and superscripts, and aligned multi-line equations. This covers standard coursework in calculus, statistics, economics, finance, physics, and linear algebra.
Is it free?
There is a free tier — upload materials and generate flashcard decks without a card. The Pro tier (from 4.16 euros per month billed yearly) raises generation limits and unlocks unlimited practice exams.
Can I print the flashcards?
The primary study mode is in-app spaced repetition, which schedules each card individually. For printable study materials, the same upload can generate a LaTeX-compiled practice exam PDF with an answer key.
How is this different from Anki with MathJax?
Anki renders math well but every card is authored by hand — you type the notation for each one. ExamTeX generates the deck from your existing notes with the math already typeset, so the work shifts from authoring to reviewing. Anki offers more manual control; ExamTeX gets you reviewing the same day.
