Image occlusion

Automatic image occlusion, with no masks to draw

TheScholar reads the printed labels on your material's figures and turns them into image occlusion Anki flashcards.
  • Great for anatomy, biology and other labeled diagrams
  • Works in every Anki app, with no add-on

Lateral and anterior views of the human body cavities, with one label covered by a grey box

Name the ventral-cavity subdivision within the rib cage that contains the lungs and heart.

  1. Abdominopelvic cavity
  2. Thoracic cavity
  3. Dorsal body cavity
  4. Pelvic cavity

Demo reveal. In your Anki deck the label stays covered and the answer is on the back.

Math that renders

Anki flashcards with equations that render

Equations come through as real math in Anki on desktop, iPhone, iPad and Android, with the answer and a short explanation on the back of every flashcard.
A point charge qq is centered inside a sphere of radius RR. What is the total electric flux through the sphere?
  1. 00
  2. 4πR2q4\pi R^2 q
  3. q/(4πε0R2)q/(4\pi\varepsilon_0 R^2)
  4. q/ε0q/\varepsilon_0
Answer
D. q/ε0q/\varepsilon_0
Integrating the point-charge field over a sphere gives Φ=q/ε0\Phi = q/\varepsilon_0, independent of radius.

Deck structure

One Anki deck per section, updated in place

TheScholar splits your material into sections, following its own structure, or one per lecture for notes and slides. Each section becomes its own deck nested under the course. Download one section, or every section in a single .apkg.

Every card keeps a fixed ID. Download again once new sections are ready, and Anki updates the cards you already have and adds the new ones. There are no duplicates to hunt down, and no need to delete the old deck first.

Behind every deck

More than an Anki flashcard generator

Every deck comes out of a full course. Each flashcard belongs to a short lesson built from your material, with its figures, an assistant you can ask mid-lesson, AI-graded challenges and spaced-repetition review in TheScholar itself. Learn a section here and keep it in Anki, or review in both.

Don't have a PDF yet? The open library has ready-made courses in subjects like anatomy and physiology, physics, statistics and computer science. They're free on every plan, fully built and don't use your uploads.

FILL IN THE BLANK

For a uniform electric field and a flat surface, electric flux is Φ=‾\Phi = \underline{\hspace{1.5em}}.

E+AE + A

E⃗⋅A⃗\vec{E}\cdot\vec{A}
E/AE/A
Answer
C. E⃗⋅A⃗\vec{E}\cdot\vec{A}
Electric flux through a flat surface in a uniform electric field is the dot product of the electric field and the area vector.
