Quizlet sets are quick to study and slow to build, which is why most are somebody else's. With Typally you hold a hotkey, speak, and the text lands in Quizlet exactly where your cursor was.
Written by the team behind Typally. Quizlet's own features are described as accurately as we can — check them yourself before switching anything.None for creating. Study modes include audio playback of terms.
A study set of eighty terms is eighty definitions typed twice. Students borrow sets instead, and borrowed sets are always subtly wrong for the exam they are actually sitting.

No. Its audio features play terms back rather than transcribing yours.
Your own set matches your syllabus, and writing it is itself revision. Existing sets are faster but rarely aligned.
Yes — the definition field accepts as much text as you want to give it.
