Question 1

How accurate are the AI-generated cards?

Accepted Answer

NurseCloze uses AI trained on nursing curricula to extract key concepts from lecture materials. Accuracy is typically 90%+ for well-structured slides. We always recommend reviewing cards before studying — especially for clinical values (lab ranges, drug dosages) where precision is critical. The preview and edit feature lets you adjust any card before exporting.

Question 2

What file formats are supported?

Accepted Answer

Currently, NurseCloze supports PDF and TXT files. Most nursing lecture slides are available as PDF exports from PowerPoint, Google Slides, or Canvas. We are working on direct PowerPoint (.pptx) support.

Question 3

Is this just for nursing students?

Accepted Answer

NurseCloze is purpose-built for nursing curricula — Pharmacology, A&P, Pathophysiology, Microbiology, Med-Surg, Maternal/Newborn, Mental Health, and Health Assessment. If you are in an ADN or BSN program, NurseCloze covers the courses you are taking. The AI is tuned to nursing content specifically, so it works best for nursing material rather than general academic subjects.

Question 4

Does this work with my existing study setup?

Accepted Answer

Yes. NurseCloze exports standard .apkg files that import directly into spaced repetition apps like Anki. You can merge new cards with existing decks or keep them separate. If you don't use Anki yet, the .apkg format works with several free spaced repetition apps — and the cards are yours to keep regardless of which app you use.

Question 5

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Start with a 7-day free trial — no credit card required. During the trial, you can generate up to 25 cards per deck to test the tool with your own lecture slides. After the trial, plans start at $8.99/month or $59.99/year (that is about $5/month). The annual plan saves you 44%. You can cancel anytime.

Question 6

What happens after my free trial ends?

Accepted Answer

After your 7-day trial, you can still log in and view any decks you have created. Cards you exported to your spaced repetition app are yours to keep forever. You just won't be able to generate new cards until you subscribe. Choose monthly or annual to continue.

Question 7

Can I cancel anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes — no contracts, no commitments, no lock-in. Cancel from your account settings in two clicks. If you subscribed through the app store, follow their standard cancellation process.

Question 8

What happens to my cards if I cancel?

Accepted Answer

You keep everything. Any flashcards you exported to your spaced repetition app are yours permanently. Your NurseCloze account stays accessible — you just cannot upload new decks or generate new cards until you reactivate.

Question 9

Do I need to know how to use spaced repetition apps?

Accepted Answer

No. NurseCloze handles the card creation. You download a single file and import it. If you use Anki, the import is automatic — just double-click the file. If you have never used spaced repetition before, the export format works with beginner-friendly apps too. The important part is that NurseCloze does the hard work — generating structured active recall cards from your lectures — so you just need to review them.

Question 10

How is this different from just asking ChatGPT to make flashcards?

Accepted Answer

ChatGPT generates text based on whatever prompt you write. NurseCloze extracts concepts directly from your uploaded lecture slides and structures them as cloze-deletion flashcards — the active recall format proven most effective for memory retention. You do not write prompts, you do not format the output, and every card links back to the source slide. NurseCloze also exports directly to spaced repetition apps so your cards enter a proven study system, not a text document you have to manually convert.

Question 11

What if my professor uses PowerPoint?

Accepted Answer

Save your PowerPoint slides as PDF (File → Export → Create PDF) and upload that file. Most professors post PDF exports on Canvas or Blackboard anyway. We are adding direct .pptx upload support.

Question 12

Can I share decks with classmates?

Accepted Answer

Currently, each account generates cards from their own uploads. Your decks are private to your account. If you and a classmate upload the same lecture slides, you will get similar cards — but each account manages its own study progress. We are exploring collaboration features.

Question 13

What topics does it cover?

Accepted Answer

All 8 core nursing courses: Pharmacology, Anatomy & Physiology, Pathophysiology, Microbiology, Medical-Surgical Nursing, Maternal & Newborn Nursing, Mental Health Nursing, and Health Assessment. If your course covers material that is part of the standard nursing curriculum, NurseCloze handles it.

Question 14

Do you offer a student discount?

Accepted Answer

The annual plan at $59.99/year (about $5/month) is designed specifically as a student discount, saving you 44% compared to monthly billing. That is less than the cost of one nursing school textbook for a full year of unlimited flashcard generation.
