Overview

What MySummaries is, and where each part of it is documented.

MySummaries turns your own notes into a study board, and that board into flashcards, written papers, audio lectures, a guided Learn course and a spoken viva. You paste or import material and arrange it into sections; everything you study is generated from your board, not a question bank. It runs in a browser at portal.mysummaries.app, in an iPhone app and in a Mac app.

These pages explain what each part does. The tips inside the app link here.

• SubjectsA subject is one thing you are studying, with its index, its boards and its examiner.
• BoardsA board is one topic's notes as cards on a sheet, and everything the platform makes is made from it.
• Editing a boardSections, layout and pages, the two modes, the pen tray, and the two ways back — undo and restore points.
• SourcesThe inbox each board keeps for material you have not sorted yet — screenshots, documents, recordings, pasted text and notes from your phone.
• AskA chat that reads your own boards, cards and papers, and proposes changes you review first.
• LearnA course through one board, written from your notes: the big picture first, then one lesson at a time, each opening with a question.
• CardsFlashcards written from a board's own notes, approved before they join the deck, scheduled for you, and drilled a board, a subject or everything at a time.
• ExamsWritten papers set from your own board, sat with or without a clock, and marked against your notes.
