Turn PowerPoint slides into exam questions
Questions from each slide's text linked back to that slide.
See what gets generated
PowerPoint uploads are read from the text on each slide.
- Check that the slide text is selectable rather than only part of a screenshot.
- For scans, diagrams, or image-heavy slides, export a PDF and use the PDF workflow.
- Start with a small page range and compare each answer with its slide before you revise from it.
MCQ · Question 1
p. 3Name the infected compartment
- Osteomyelitis: bone and marrow, bone tenderness
- Septic arthritis: joint space, painful joint movement
- Cellulitis: skin and soft tissue, warmth and redness
12
On this slide, what separates osteomyelitis from septic arthritis?
- A. Bone involvement versus joint involvement
- B. Skin redness versus bone tenderness
- C. Bloodstream spread versus direct entry
- D. Antibiotics versus drainage
Show the answer
A. Bone involvement versus joint involvement
The slide's key distinction is the infected compartment: bone and marrow for osteomyelitis, the joint space for septic arthritis. The other options mix in routes and treatments that the slide does not compare.
Built from the “Name the infected compartment” table on page 3 of a public sample reference sheet. This is a teaching example rather than clinical advice.
Practise without uploading
The prepared question bank runs from the preclinical sciences to the clinical specialties. Every question explains every option.

Frequently asked questions
Another question?
support@recallengine.appWhat does a powerpoint to questions tool do?
It turns lecture slides into exam practice. Recall Engine reads the text on each slide of your PowerPoint (PPTX) file and generates SBAs, MCQs, or flashcards from it. Every question links back to the slide it was built from so you can check it against your deck.
Can I turn a PowerPoint into questions?
Yes. Upload a PPTX file, select the slides you want, and Recall Engine generates practice questions with answers and explanations. It reads the text of each slide so the questions stay grounded in your own lecture material.
Does it read images or diagrams on my slides?
Not in a PPTX. PowerPoint files are read as slide text only so a point that exists only inside a picture will be missed. This is a PowerPoint limitation, not a Recall Engine one: upload the same deck as a PDF and the pages are read visually so diagrams, figures, clinical photos, charts, and image-rendered tables are all read and tested. If your slides are image heavy, export to PDF before uploading.
Is it free?
You get 50 credits free on signup with no card required. Credits are only charged after a successful generation so a failed run never costs you anything.
Can I use the questions from my slides for USMLE, PLAB, or my university finals?
The questions are built from the exact slides you upload so they match your own course best. For USMLE or PLAB, your lecturer's deck rarely covers every exam point so treat the output as targeted practice on that lecture rather than a full board-style bank. Because each question is traced to the slide it came from, you can always check it against what was actually taught. Recall Engine is a study aid rather than an exam guarantee.
Can it handle a whole 60-slide deck or do I have to do a few slides at a time?
You can run the entire deck at once or pick a specific range of slides so revising one topic block is just as easy as the full lecture. Larger decks use more credits since there is more slide text to turn into questions and you start with 50 free credits without a card. The credit count is shown before you generate and you are only charged after a successful run.
How is this different from pasting my slides into ChatGPT?
A general chatbot will happily write questions but it can drift from your slides and rarely tells you which slide a fact came from. Recall Engine reads each PPTX slide and ties every SBA, MCQ, or flashcard back to the exact slide number so you can verify it instead of trusting it blindly. It also formats output as proper SBAs and MCQs in the styles your exams actually use rather than loose Q and A text.
