No set to build, no set to hunt for. Upload the chapter you're being tested on and Tali turns it into practice questions — and practising them is free.
Make my first quiz freeThe slow part of flashcards is making them. Tali skips that step.
PDF, DOCX, PPTX, Markdown, plain text, or photos of pages — up to 30MB a file. You can also paste text, including text exported from a set you already have.
It reads the material in order, writes short notes, one idea each, and generates fill-in-the-blank and multiple-choice questions per note. Import a past paper and its questions come in too, in their own format.
Answering is free. A topic is marked verified after two correct answers asked two different ways; the ones you miss come back on a spaced-repetition schedule.
Quizlet is built around study sets — flashcards you make yourself or find from other students. Tali starts from your material instead and writes the questions for you.
| Quizlet | Tali | |
|---|---|---|
| A big library of ready-made sets from other students | Yes | — |
| Grades a typed answer, not just exact matches | Yes | Yes |
| Full guided study mode without a subscription | A free session to try; Learn is part of Quizlet Plus | Yes — all practice is free |
| A topic counts as learned only after two correct answers, asked two different ways | — | Yes |
If your course is popular and someone has already made a great set for it, Quizlet's library is hard to beat. If your material is your own — your lecturer's slides, your reading list, your past papers — Tali saves you building the set at all.
Making good flashcards takes as long as reading the chapter. Upload the chapter and the questions come from it.
Questions come from the slides and papers your course actually uses, not a set someone made for a different syllabus.
A typed answer is marked by meaning, not exact spelling, and open questions from your past papers get marked with a note on what your answer left out.
Credits pay for turning new material into notes and questions. Answering, re-answering and reviewing never cost anything.
Lecture slides and readers that nobody else has turned into a set.
Import last year's paper and practise its actual questions, with written answers marked rather than matched letter by letter.
Spend the time answering questions instead of writing them.
You get 15 free credits when you create an account, no card required. One credit turns one source into notes plus its practice questions, and answering those questions is free however often you come back. Chat is one credit per 12 messages; voice is one credit per two minutes.
Not directly. If you can export a set as text, you can paste that text into Tali as a source and it will write questions from it. Most people find it faster to upload the original slides or PDF.
No. Tali uses questions instead — fill-in-the-blank and multiple choice written from your material, plus whatever question types your imported past papers contain — with spaced repetition bringing back the ones you miss.
PDF, DOCX, PPTX, Markdown, plain text, and photos or screenshots of pages (PNG, JPG, WEBP, HEIC), up to 30MB per file. You can also paste text or a web page link.
English, Chinese, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Portuguese, Russian and Italian. Notes and questions can be in your language even when the material is in another.
No. Tali is an independent study app. Quizlet is a trademark of its owner, mentioned here only to compare.
Drop in a PDF and get notes you can actually study from — then let Tali quiz you until you can explain it.
Upload the chapter you have to know cold. Tali writes the questions and schedules them — what you miss comes back tomorrow, what you know comes back in a month.
Not generic questions — questions from the exact chapter you just read, marked by something that tells you what you missed.
Upload a past paper and Tali reads it question by question — then writes you a note for each exam point it tests. CFA, PMP, CPA, university finals.
Upload the same PDF you'd drop into NotebookLM. Tali turns it into quizzes, grades what you write, and keeps bringing back what you got wrong — so you don't just chat with your notes, you learn them.
Ask your PDF anything and get answers grounded in the page. Then let Tali quiz you on it, mark what you write, and resurface what you missed — because chatting with a document isn't the same as knowing it.
If that's happened to you, the problem isn't effort — it's that nothing you're using can tell you which topics you only think you've got. Tali works from your own material, quotes the exact source for every supported point, and gives you that list.
ChatGPT is a great explainer. Tali is for the weeks before an exam: questions from your own material, a record of which topics you have actually proven, and the shaky ones brought back on schedule.
