This is the feature I'm most excited about shipping. It's the one that makes people say "wait, really?" when I show them.
Here's the idea: take a photo of your homework, your notes, or a textbook page. Upload it to CramClub. In about 30 seconds, you have a practice quiz generated from that exact content — with questions, answer choices, and explanations.
How It Works
Step 1: Upload. Take a photo with your phone, paste text directly, or upload a PDF. If it's a photo, our OCR system (powered by Mathpix) extracts the text — including math equations, formulas, tables, and diagrams. This isn't basic OCR. It handles LaTeX-style math notation, chemistry equations, and handwritten text.
Step 2: Processing. The extracted content goes through our AI pipeline, which analyzes the material and generates targeted practice questions. Multiple choice, short answer, fill-in-the-blank — the system picks question types that match the content. A page of algebra problems gets algebra questions. A passage from a novel gets comprehension and analysis questions.
Step 3: Study. You get a complete quiz that you can take immediately, share with friends, or save for later review. Every question has an explanation, so you learn from your mistakes in real time.
Why This Matters
Here's what I kept hearing from students: "I want to practice, but I can only practice what CramClub has in the library." That's a real limitation. Your teacher assigns specific homework. Your textbook covers material in a specific order. You need practice on your material, not just what we've pre-built.
Upload solves that. Your homework becomes your practice quiz. Your notes become your flashcard deck. The content you're actually responsible for — not a generic study guide — becomes the basis for your review.
I've tested this with everything from AP Calculus problem sets to history reading assignments to Spanish vocabulary lists. It works surprisingly well across subjects, especially for structured content like math problems, vocabulary, and factual material.
A Few Things to Know
- This is a Plus feature. Upload and AI quiz generation require a CramClub Plus subscription. The core study library, flashcards, and practice quizzes remain free.
- Quality depends on input quality. A clear photo of typed text produces great results. A blurry photo of messy handwriting is harder. When in doubt, paste the text directly.
- You can share generated quizzes. If you upload your study guide and generate a quiz, you can share it with classmates. One upload benefits everyone.
Go try it. Upload something and see what comes out. I think you'll be impressed.
