How it fits the weekly rhythm of med school.
The point isn't a new study system. It's removing the gap between leaving a lecture and starting the first review.
2
Generate a draft deck
SceneSnap drafts editable cards on definitions, mechanisms, pathways, and high-yield contrasts. You skip the blank-deck stage.
3
Review with spacing
Cards enter a spaced repetition queue immediately. Missed cards return sooner, mastered cards space out further.
4
Recap before the block
Use the generated deck plus auto-summaries to revisit high-yield concepts the night before block exams or shelf.
Anki vs SceneSnap for med school.
Anki gives you a mature scheduler and full manual control. SceneSnap removes the bottleneck before the scheduler — getting from lecture to first deck.
| Step in your week | SceneSnap | Anki |
|---|---|---|
| Right after a lecture | Upload material, get an editable deck in 30 seconds | Open Anki, create or import cards manually |
| Lecture recordings | Transcribed and turned into prompts automatically | Requires separate transcription, then manual card writing |
| Starting review | Generated cards enter the spaced queue immediately | Mature scheduler, more manual configuration |
| Course-by-course setup | Minutes — drop a folder of lectures, get decks back | Often depends on add-ons, premade decks, custom settings |

Built around what med students actually do.
Not magic, not a shortcut. Just less time between lecture and the first useful review.
“The first deck used to take an hour. Now it takes the time to walk back from class.”
Maya
Pre-clinical year
“I clean up the cards on the bus, then review the same evening. The block doesn't pile up anymore.”
Andre
Clinical rotations
“Anatomy and pharm hit different when you actually have a deck ready the same day the slides drop.”

Step 1 prep
Free to start. Scales with your workload.
Try the workflow on your own lectures before paying. AI processing scales with file length — light weeks cost less, exam crunch costs more.
Free plan
Start with included credits. Generate decks from your real lectures before you commit to anything.
Pay for what you process
Credits scale with file length and workload. No flat subscription — your cost matches your week.
Cancel anytime
No annual lock-in. Pause during summer break, ramp back up when blocks restart in the fall.
Questions medical students ask.
How is SceneSnap different from premade decks?+
Premade decks cover general high-yield content. SceneSnap generates cards from your own course-specific lectures, slides, and notes. The two complement each other — premade for general review, SceneSnap for the lecture you sat through this morning.
How long does it take to turn a lecture into a deck?+
Slide decks (PDF, PowerPoint) typically generate in about 30 seconds. Lecture recordings take longer because audio is transcribed first — usually a few minutes for a full lecture, depending on length.
Does it work for pre-clinical and clinical years?+
Yes. Pre-clinical students use it for anatomy, physiology, pathology, and pharmacology lectures. Clinical students use it for case recaps, guidelines, and rotation notes.
Are the medical flashcards accurate?+
Cards are drafts generated from the material you upload — quality depends on your source. Always review for accuracy before relying on a card for high-stakes exams. Every card is editable.
Can I upload lecture slides and recordings?+
Yes — PDF slides, Word/PowerPoint, audio recordings, and video. Use only material you have permission to process. SceneSnap turns the content into a draft deck.
Is there a free plan for medical students?+
Yes. SceneSnap has a free plan with included credits to try the workflow on your own lectures. Heavier processing scales with workload — exam weeks use more credits than light weeks.
The next lecture is on the calendar. Don't let it pile up.
