A quiz platform built for language teachers, not student flashcard apps
Knowt is popular with students for self-study flashcards. But language teachers need AI quiz generation from their own lesson materials, Magic Link sharing without student accounts, furigana and pinyin for East Asian languages, and analytics that reveal vocabulary gaps — tools Knowt wasn't built to provide.
Why Language Teachers Need More Than Knowt
Knowt excels as a student self-study tool — AI flashcard generation, spaced repetition, and study sets. But it's designed for learners, not teachers. You can't generate quizzes from your own lesson materials, distribute assessments to a class without student sign-ups, access granular vocabulary analytics by student, or leverage language-specific features like furigana, pinyin, or JLPT alignment. Teachers need a tool on the other side of the classroom.
What Quizzz Does for Language Teachers
Quizzz is purpose-built for teacher-side language assessment. Paste any lesson material and AI generates a targeted quiz in seconds. Students open a Magic Link — no Knowt account, no sign-up friction. Furigana and pinyin annotations are built in. And analytics show class-wide vocabulary patterns so you can adapt your teaching in real time.
