Synaptic Recall AI Study System Turns a Lecture Into a Story, Anki Deck and Exam

Synaptic Recall, an AI study system built by a medical student, makes a Story, an Anki deck and a practice exam from a student’s own lecture slides.

NY, UNITED STATES, November 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Synaptic Recall is an AI study system that turns a student’s own lecture slides into three study tools: a Story that explains the lecture, an Anki deck for active recall, and an exam-style practice test.

It now adjusts to the student’s program. The upload page has a level selector for medical, nursing, physician assistant, physical therapy, dental, pharmacy, veterinary and undergraduate students, and the choice changes how the Story and the questions are pitched. The content still comes from the lecture.

Haziq, a medical student, built it after running several apps to study one lecture. “This is the tool I wanted in first year and could not find,” he said. “Four apps, and not one started from the lecture I would be tested on.”

A student uploads a PDF or PowerPoint, and Synaptic Recall runs three steps on it.

The first is understanding. The Story explains the lecture from the basics and starts with something familiar. The lecture’s main pathways are drawn beside the explanation, and highlighted terms open their meaning, word parts and origin.

The second is memorizing with active recall, which means answering a question from memory before checking the answer. The system builds an Anki deck from the lecture, with the source slide on each card and a further explanation in a dropdown.

The third is application. The system writes exam-style practice questions from the lecture, each with an explanation and an image of the slide it came from.

“Every other resource does one of the three steps. Never all of them,” he said.

Synaptic Recall does not replace board-preparation resources such as AnKing or UWorld, the company says. Its practice questions are study aids that no exam board has written or reviewed, and students are told to check the output against their slides.

It runs on the company’s own servers. Uploads are used to make the materials a student asked for and are not used to train a public model, according to the company.

New accounts start with three free credits, which cover one lecture in all three study modes. No card is needed. The full method is at https://synapticrecall.ai/how-it-works/.
