TurinQ: Turn Your PDFs, Videos, and Notes into Quizzes and Flashcards

If you run a small business, you wear a lot of hats—trainer, HR, customer support, and sometimes chief coffee officer. TurinQ is a tool that makes one of those hats easier: training and learning. TurinQ turns PDFs, videos, and plain notes into quizzes, flashcards, and study guides, and it even grades open-ended answers using AI. That means less time building training from scratch and more time getting your team up to speed.

Who benefits? Small business owners, team leads, HR folks, customer success teams, and anyone who needs to teach or assess people quickly without hiring an instructional designer. It’s especially useful if you have existing materials—policy PDFs, how-to videos, or messy Google Docs—and want to turn them into interactive learning that helps real people remember stuff.

Create training materials for staff

Got a manual or a long PDF about how your product works? Upload it. TurinQ can pull the key points and create quizzes and flashcards. Instead of asking new hires to “read the manual,” you can give them a 10-minute quiz that highlights what really matters.

• Example: Turn a 30-page operations manual into three short quizzes and a flashcard deck for daily refreshers.
• Quick tip: Use quizzes after a demonstration to reinforce steps—people remember actions better than paragraphs.

Enhance onboarding processes with interactive content

Onboarding is hectic and forgettable. TurinQ helps by converting onboarding slides and notes into bite-sized checks: short quizzes, a study guide with highlights, and flashcards for key terms. New hires can self-test while waiting for IT to set up their laptop.

• Example: Convert your “Welcome” presentation into a first-week checklist with a small quiz for each day’s topic.
• Quick tip: Use graded open-ended questions to see if someone can explain a process in their own words—AI grading flags parts that need follow-up.

Develop educational resources for clients

Want clients to succeed with your product? Teach them. Convert how-to guides, demo videos, and FAQs into client-facing quizzes and guides. Clients who understand get more value from your product and call support less.

• Example: Offer a “Getting Started” flashcard deck for new customers and a short follow-up quiz to certify basic setup knowledge.
• Quick tip: Embed a short quiz after a tutorial video to measure whether clients actually absorbed the key steps.

Facilitate knowledge retention in teams

People forget. A lot. Flashcards and short quizzes help move knowledge from “I read it once” to “I actually remember it.” Use TurinQ to turn meeting notes and training sessions into reviewable content that appears again and again.

• Example: After product training, send a five-question quiz each week for the first month to reinforce learning.
• Quick tip: Use spaced repetition with flashcards—short bursts beat giant cram sessions.

Support continuous learning initiatives

Small businesses that want to grow need teams that keep learning. TurinQ can help run a lightweight continuous learning program: a monthly micro-course made from recent documentation, with a small test at the end to track improvement.

• Example: Monthly “lunch and learn” content turned into quick checklists and a small quiz to encourage attendance and retention.
• Quick tip: Recognize staff who pass a short quiz—small rewards help participation.

Pros and cons

• Pros:
  • Turns existing content into interactive learning fast—no need to build from scratch.
  • Supports multiple input types: PDFs, videos, notes—handy for messy small-business content.
  • AI grades open-ended answers, so you get insight beyond multiple choice.
  • Good for onboarding, training, client education, and retention without hiring an LMS expert.
  • Helps standardize training across remote or hybrid teams.
• Cons:
  • AI grading can be a bit off on nuance—still worth a human spot-check for important things.
  • May need some cleanup of source materials to get the best quiz questions (e.g., remove irrelevant pages).
  • Not a full learning management system—limited reporting and tracking compared to enterprise LMS tools.
  • Depending on your industry, compliance training may still need human review and sign-off.

TurinQ isn’t magic, but it’s close enough for small businesses that want training to be fast, useful, and low-fuss. If you spend any time compiling guides, explaining policies, or showing clients how to use your product, this tool can shave hours off that work and help information stick.

Curious to try it? Start by picking one short document—your onboarding checklist, a best-practices PDF, or a recorded demo—and see how TurinQ converts it into quizzes and flashcards. If the results help even one new hire learn faster, it’s worth it.
