Google’s artificial intelligence-supported note-taking service NotebookLMmobile version flashcards And Quizzes added two new learning tools named . Android and iOS users can now create flashcards and prepare quizzes from their documents.
NotebookLM is offered as an artificial intelligence service that personalizes the learning process by working with users’ own documents or texts. On this platform, users can extract summaries of the documents they upload, receive analysis by subject, and create questions based on certain topics. The newly added Flashcards feature converts the basic information in the content into card format, while the Quizzes option allows users to measure their knowledge by preparing tests from the same source. These two features were made available in the web version in September and have now been moved to the mobile application.
Flashcards are designed as a useful tool, especially for those who want to study long texts. Important concepts in the documents are organized into short questions and answers. Thus, users can quickly repeat the topic. Quizzes, on the other hand, ensure that the information learned is reinforced. Users can create automatic tests from their own content, so each exam prepared is directly linked to that text. This method activates the learning process and adapts to individual working styles.
Google NotebookLM mobile app expands with learning-focused features
Access to these features is very simple in the mobile version of NotebookLM. On Android, Android 10 and above is required, and on iPhone, iOS 17 and above is required. There is a section called “Studio” in the interface of the application, where flashcards and tests can be managed together. Users can create new sets of cards and tests with each new document they upload. This process is completed within a few seconds. However, in some countries not all features are active at the same time. In Türkiye, access to these tools is available with Turkish language support.
In the statement published by Google, it was stated that the update to the mobile version was planned to make learning easier. The company shared that users can obtain summaries and tests from the content by uploading lecture notes or study materials. Flashcards and Quizzes are prepared automatically by analyzing the texts. Whether users are working with short articles or comprehensive documents, the system can produce data the same way. Audio description and summary options are also available in the application.
These two features of NotebookLM seem useful not only for students, but also for those who do research or constantly review documents. Because the system can extract data not only from texts but also from sources containing PDFs, slides or links. In addition to all these, graphs and tables in the uploaded files can also be turned into questions. Thus, users can easily review the numerical information in the text.
There is data synchronization between the web version and mobile version of the application. When users log in to the same account, the cards and tests they prepare are automatically synchronized. This allows you to continue where you left off when the device is changed. In addition, NotebookLM can also store your content offline. Thus, it becomes possible to continue working even without an internet connection.
Additionally, Google also announced that the mobile app will get a new “learning statistics” tab in the coming months. This tab will include the frequency of use, correct answer rate and working times of the created cards and tests. Thus, users will be able to measure their own progress. Regardless, Google has stated that some advanced features are only active on US-based accounts yet. This situation is expected to change soon.
NotebookLM’s Flashcards and Quizzes innovation enables the service to go beyond note-taking functionality. The app can now also be considered an AI learning aid. After users upload their documents, they can directly interact with the content, test their knowledge and do it again using the same files. This innovation coming to the mobile version helps NotebookLM to provide a more comprehensive learning experience by increasing its functionality.
