Is there a NotebookLM alternative that makes flashcards and quizzes you can export to Anki?
NotebookLM is strong for asking questions about your sources, but it needs a Google account. FlashcardMaker.me turns the same notes into flashcards and a practice quiz with no account (1 deck a day, up to 10 cards; quizzes up to 10 questions), schedules reviews with spaced repetition and exports to Anki .apkg, CSV or TSV. The first export is free; Pro is $9.99/month or $4.99 for 7 days.
