The complaints we hear every week.
Real quotes from students who switched.
“I spend an hour after every lecture just making cards. That's not studying anymore.”
r/medschool
“Spent the weekend building decks instead of reviewing them. Cards don't help if you never look at them.”
r/medschool
“Lost a full day of cards because AnkiWeb and my phone disagreed on which version was correct.”
r/medschool
“Configuring intervals, troubleshooting sync, fixing add-ons — Anki tests my patience more than my exams do.”
r/medschool
Same algorithm. Zero homework.

Why Anki users switch.
Students keep spaced repetition. They stop spending their evenings maintaining decks.
“I still review every day, but I do not lose Sunday night turning slides into cards anymore.”
Maya
Former Anki user, pre-med
“SceneSnap gave me the part I wanted from Anki without the add-on maintenance.”
Jonas
Language learner
“The win is speed. I upload the lecture, clean up the deck, and start reviewing before the next class.”
Priya

Questions Anki users always ask.
Is SceneSnap free?+
SceneSnap has a free plan to get started. After the included usage, AI-powered generation uses credits and costs depend on how much AI processing you use.
How is SceneSnap different from Anki?+
Anki gives you the algorithm but you make every card by hand. SceneSnap auto-generates the deck from your PDF, slides, or lecture video, then runs the same kind of spaced repetition on top. You skip the hour of card-making and go straight to studying.
Does SceneSnap use spaced repetition?+
Yes. Spaced repetition is built in by default — no setup, no configuration. Cards come back for review based on how well you remember them, the same way Anki works.
What can I upload?+
PDFs (textbooks, lecture slides, articles), videos from your recorded lectures, audio recordings, and Word/PowerPoint documents. SceneSnap reads them and turns the content into a deck.
Can I edit the auto-generated cards?+
Yes. Every card is editable — text, question, answer.
What's the best Anki alternative for med school?+
If you spend over an hour per lecture making cards, SceneSnap is the highest-leverage switch. Auto-generation from slides and lecture videos, spaced repetition built in, no add-ons to maintain.
Does it work on mobile?+
Yes. SceneSnap is accessible from your browser, so you can use it on desktop, tablet, or mobile without installing an app.
Stop maintaining a study app. Start studying.
