Powerful features for effective learning
Everything you need to transform any content into lasting knowledge. Built on research, designed for real students.
Your materials, understood
Scholium accepts virtually any study material you throw at it. PDFs, PowerPoint slides, Word documents, audio recordings, video files, YouTube links, web articles, even handwritten notes. Our AI doesn't just extract text—it understands structure, identifies key concepts, and preserves the relationships between ideas.
Supported Formats
- PDF documents (textbooks, papers, handouts)
- Presentation files (PowerPoint, Keynote, Google Slides)
- Documents (Word, Google Docs, Markdown)
- Audio (MP3, WAV, M4A, lecture recordings)
- Video (MP4, YouTube links, recorded lectures)
- Images (PNG, JPG—great for diagrams and handwritten notes)
- Web content (via Chrome extension)
What Our AI Extracts
- Key concepts and definitions
- Facts, figures, and data points
- Procedures and step-by-step processes
- Examples and case studies
- Relationships between ideas
- Questions (both explicit and implied)
Processing Features
- Automatic language detection
- Table and chart extraction
- Citation and reference parsing
- Duplicate content detection

Study smarter
From content to mastery, automatically
Once your materials are processed, Scholium can generate a complete suite of study tools—all tailored to your specific content and optimized with evidence-based learning techniques.
Flashcards that know when you'll forget
Our flashcard system uses FSRS (Free Spaced Repetition Scheduler), the most accurate algorithm available for predicting memory decay. Each card is scheduled based on your personal performance history, not arbitrary intervals.
- Adaptive scheduling based on your accuracy
- Tracks successive correct recalls across sessions
- Prioritizes cards close to "mastery" (3+ correct sessions)
- Supports text, images, and cloze deletions
- One-click export to Anki
Structured learning
Let AI plan your learning path
Staring at a stack of materials and wondering where to start? Scholium's curriculum generator analyzes your uploaded content, identifies prerequisites and dependencies, and creates a logical learning sequence. You'll know exactly what to study, in what order, with realistic time estimates.
How It Works
Content Analysis
Our AI examines all your uploaded materials, extracting topics and identifying which concepts depend on understanding others first.
Dependency Mapping
Concepts are organized into a knowledge graph showing prerequisites. You can't truly understand calculus without algebra, and Scholium knows that.
Sequence Generation
Based on dependencies and your available time, Scholium creates a module-by-module study plan with clear objectives for each session.
Progress Tracking
As you complete modules, Scholium tracks your mastery and adjusts recommendations. Struggling with a concept? It might suggest prerequisite review.
Curriculum Features
- AI-generated learning objectives per module
- Realistic time estimates based on content density
- Prerequisite tracking and enforcement
- Progress visualization and completion tracking
- Flexible—skip ahead or review as needed
- Adapts based on your quiz and flashcard performance
Your recordings and slides, perfectly synced
Lecture recordings are goldmines of information—but they're also hours long and nearly impossible to navigate. Upload your recording alongside the presentation slides, and Scholium automatically aligns them. Click any slide to jump to that moment in the audio.
How Alignment Works
Audio Processing
We transcribe your recording with high accuracy, capturing every word the lecturer says.
Slide Analysis
Each slide is analyzed for text content, structure, and key terms.
Intelligent Matching
Our AI matches transcript segments to slides based on content overlap, timing patterns, and contextual cues.
Manual Refinement
If needed, you can adjust alignments manually—though most users find the automatic alignment accurate enough.
What You Can Do
- Click any slide to hear that section of the lecture
- Search transcripts and jump to relevant slides
- Generate notes from specific slide segments
- Create flashcards linked to lecture timestamps
- Review at 1.5x or 2x speed with full navigation
- Export timestamped transcripts
Supported Formats
MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG, FLAC
MP4, MOV, WebM, YouTube links
PowerPoint, Keynote, PDF, Google Slides (via export)
See how everything fits together
Real understanding comes from seeing connections. Scholium doesn't treat your documents as isolated silos—it builds a unified knowledge base where concepts link across all your materials. When your textbook, lecture slides, and notes all mention "mitochondria," Scholium shows you how each source contributes to your understanding.
The Knowledge Graph
At the heart of Scholium is a knowledge graph—a network of concepts and relationships extracted from your materials. Unlike simple keyword matching, this graph captures semantic meaning: it knows that "cellular respiration" is related to "ATP production" even if they're never mentioned in the same sentence.
Synthesis Features
Unified Concept View
Click any concept to see every place it appears across all your documents, with context and source links.
Relationship Mapping
Visualize how concepts relate: prerequisites, categories, causes and effects, comparisons, and more.
Gap Detection
Scholium identifies concepts mentioned but never fully explained in your materials—potential gaps in your understanding.
Multi-Source Study Materials
Generate flashcards and quizzes that synthesize information from multiple documents, creating more complete coverage.
Smart Search
Search your entire knowledge base semantically. Ask questions in natural language and find relevant content across all uploads.
