Turn PowerPoint slides into exam questions
Recall Engine is a powerpoint to questions tool that reads the text of each PPTX slide and turns it into SBAs, MCQs, and flashcards, with every question traced back to the exact slide it came from.
No credit card required
Your professor handed you a 60-slide PowerPoint two weeks before the exam, and re-reading those bullet points for the fourth time still does not tell you whether you actually know the material. Typing your own questions off each slide is slow, and generic question banks were never built from your lecturer's slides. You need practice that matches what is on the screen in front of you.
How it works

Add a PPTX file. Recall Engine reads the text of each slide, so the questions stay tied to your lecture.
Select your slides
Choose the slides you want questions from, or run the whole deck at once.

Frequently asked questions
What 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?
No. Recall Engine reads the text on each slide, not the images, charts, or diagrams. If a key point only appears inside a picture, add it as a text note on the slide, or paste it in, so it can be turned into a question. For scanned lectures, the PDF to questions tool handles visual pages.
Is it free?
You get 30 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, not 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 30 free credits, no 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, the styles your exams actually use, rather than loose Q and A text.
