Welcome to Sparkly’s Frequently Asked Questions. Here you’ll find answers to the most common questions about how Sparkly works, its AI-powered learning modes, creating and managing flashcards, pricing, and more. Whether you’re a student or a learner preparing for exams, this guide will help you get the most out of Sparkly.
Sparkly is an AI-powered flashcard platform that helps you study smarter and faster. You can upload documents (like lecture notes or PDFs), enter topics or prompts, or manually create flashcards. Sparkly then generates relevant flashcards and guides you through review sessions using spaced repetition.
Unique feature: Sparkly also offers three smart, AI-driven learning modes (classic front/back review, text-input with AI feedback, and full voice-based review with AI feedback). You can even generate mock exams based on your learn-sets, get AI-graded feedback and a score to simulate real exam conditions.
There are three main ways to create flashcards:
Upload files (PDFs, Word documents, lecture notes): Sparkly automatically converts your content into flashcards.
Enter a topic or prompt: The AI generates flashcards based on your chosen subject.
Manual creation: You can type your own flashcards, with AI suggestions to speed things up.
Sparkly offers three smart AI-powered learning modes:
Classic flashcards – review front and back. After each card, you rate your recall using four buttons (from “Don’t know” to “Easy”), which adjusts when the card will reappear.
Text-input mode – type your answer, and Sparkly’s AI evaluates how accurate it is.
Voice mode – practice by speaking your answers; the AI listens and gives feedback.
👉 In all modes, Sparkly automatically applies spaced repetition. In the classic mode, your self-ratings determine the interval. In text-input and voice mode, the AI intelligently assesses your performance and adjusts the repetition schedule.

Spaced repetition is a scientifically proven learning technique where flashcards are reviewed at increasing intervals, just before you’re likely to forget the information. This method helps you retain knowledge more efficiently and reduces study time.
Sparkly integrates spaced repetition automatically in every learning mode:
Classic flashcards: You rate each card using four buttons, indicating how well you remember it. Your rating determines when the card will appear next.
Text-input mode: The AI evaluates your typed answers and schedules the cards based on your performance.
Voice mode: The AI assesses your spoken answers and adjusts repetition intervals accordingly.
This ensures that every study session is optimized, whether you’re reviewing with traditional flashcards, typing answers, or speaking them aloud.
