Study from your own material: CIRO for students and researchers

Flashcards, quizzes, exam plans and podcasts made from your notes, PDFs, lectures and videos, each cited to its source. Here is how Study works.

Study what your class covered

Most study tools start from the whole internet. Study in CIRO starts from your material: the handout, the lecture, the paper your professor assigned. Open it from the Study button above any chat and pick the sources you want to learn from.

You can also add material: PDFs, photos of handwritten notes and equations, public YouTube captions, MP3 or WAV lectures, VTT and SRT transcripts, articles and recorded meetings. You review each one before it becomes a study source, so nothing you did not choose sneaks in.

Twenty-four ways to learn it

Understand it with a guided lesson, Smart Text, a study guide or a mind map. Practice it with flashcards, quizzes, true or false, worked exercises and a timed mock exam. Say it out loud in oral practice, by voice or text. Listen to an audio overview or a podcast at your length, language and level. Plan it with an exam plan built around your date and your study time.

Every card, question and lesson points back to the passage it came from. When something sounds wrong, you can open the source instead of trusting a summary.

Study from what your class actually covered, not from the whole internet.

Try first, then see the answer

Solutions stay hidden until you answer, and worked exercises open hints one step at a time. Your answers are saved privately, and your progress and review queue are waiting when you come back.

Scores are there to help you practice. They are not official grades or exam predictions.

Research, too

For a thesis or a research project, Study saves source discovery, reviews captures of public pages and turns your material into cited reports and slides, with data tables and charts. Recorded meetings and lectures become transcripts you can study from.
