About Poly Flashcards
Remember more. Use what you learn. Turn your notes into flashcards, your audio into useful vocabulary, and everyday conversations into personal language practice. Poly brings creation, listening, speaking and spaced repetition together in one focused app. Learn a language, prepare for an exam, build professional knowledge or explore a new interest. Start with your own material and make it yours. A POWERFUL CORE, FREE Create unlimited decks and flashcards. Organize them into folders, edit your cards, import existing material and study with Smart Review. No Poly account or subscription is required for the core experience. REMEMBER MORE, EVERY DAY Smart Review uses FSRS spaced repetition to choose what needs attention next. Study one deck, a folder or your whole library. Focus on due cards, difficult material or new cards, and use Catch-Up when your backlog grows. Undo a mistaken rating and pause cards that need a rethink. TURN NOTES AND PICTURES INTO CARDS Paste structured notes or scan a page, then check and edit the cards before saving. Create two-way cards and fill-in-the-blank questions. Hide labels on diagrams and photos for visual recall. Keep useful images, audio and language details with your cards. LEARN FROM WHAT YOU HEAR Import an audio lesson and add or create a timed transcript. Jump to a sentence, repeat a difficult line and look up words in context. Save useful words or complete sentences as flashcards with their original audio clips. Listen, record and replay yourself with shadowing practice. PRACTISE EVERY SIDE OF A LANGUAGE Understand, Recall, Listen, Dictation, Type and Speak train different skills from the same material. Check typed answers, choose how strictly to handle accents and compare spoken answers with recognized text. Add readings, pronunciation and grammar to support your learning. MAKE LANGUAGE PERSONAL Build a Language Island: a bilingual script for introducing yourself, ordering food or talking about your life. Write or import sentence pairs, choose recall pauses and preview the first two pairs with device voices. AI+ creates the complete professional audio for repeated listening and practice. CREATE WITH OPTIONAL AI+ Build editable flashcards from a focused prompt, or enrich a word with examples, grammar and natural phrases. Explore due-word conversations, optional sound coaching and Card Doctor suggestions for troublesome cards. AI+ also includes professional speech and all Pro features. Check AI-generated facts and translations before studying. BRING YOUR LEARNING WITH YOU Import and export supported Anki packages, CSV and Quizlet text. Keep a complete Poly backup. Study saved material offline, use iPad handwriting and larger layouts, or transfer supported short text cards and audio to Apple Watch for quick sessions away from your phone. SEE YOUR PROGRESS GROW Follow your reviews, streaks and language activity. Build a routine with reminders and use your progress to choose what to practise next. Pro Lifetime adds iCloud sync and advanced retention, mastery and workload insights. CHOOSE WHAT WORKS FOR YOU The core app is free. Pro is an optional lifetime purchase. AI+ is an optional monthly or annual subscription with usage allowances. New AI requests and online downloads require a connection; speech recognition availability varies by device and language.
