Language is universal across Studio and Chat

When you change Output Language in any Studio customize dialog, that updates your default output language across all Studio generations and your Copilot Chat panel.
If you leave it on Auto, Memo detects the source language automatically.

Step-by-step

Quick generate

  1. Open your deck.

  2. Make sure the sources you want are selected in the Sources panel.

  3. Go to Studio.

  4. Click Flashcards.

  5. Open the new flashcard set when generation finishes.

Customize before generating

  1. In Studio, click the pencil icon on Flashcards.

  2. Choose a flashcard skill or style.

  3. Choose a generation mode:

    • Standard for a balanced run

    • Deep Dive for broader, more exhaustive coverage

  4. Set the card count control that appears for your chosen mode.

  5. Set the output language if needed.

  6. Add optional custom instructions.

  7. Generate the set.

What the customization options do

  • Skill / style: shapes the output format, such as basic cards, quiz-style cards, or cloze-heavy card patterns.

  • Generation mode: controls how aggressively Memo covers the selected sources.

  • Card count controls: help you keep the set concise or expand coverage.

  • Output language: changes the language used in the generated cards.

  • Custom instructions: adds your own focus areas or formatting guidance.

After generation

From the generated flashcard set, you can:

  • open it in the editor

  • review it in Learn

  • run a Cram session

  • rename it

  • delete it

  • export it as text, PDF, or Anki

  • reset the learning state for that set

Important notes

  • Flashcards are generated from the sources currently selected in the deck.

  • Deep Dive is meant for broader coverage and may take longer than Standard.

  • Some accounts may see additional experimental controls during limited rollout.

  • Learn and Cram happen after the flashcard set has been created.
