Common Questions About Mapping Historical Texts
Addressing concerns about document processing and visual organization.
Can CogniGuide handle heavily formatted academic papers or scans?
Yes. While clean text inputs are ideal, our system is optimized to extract structure from standard PDFs and DOCX files common in AP curriculum readings. If the text is too obscured by images, direct text prompts work best.
Is the output map editable once the AI generates it?
The AI focuses on structuring the core information. You receive an interactive, expandable map that captures the publication's essence, ready for immediate study or export.
What kind of export formats support complex history diagrams?
We support high-quality PNG exports for integration into presentations or notes, and PDF exports suitable for printing large, detailed concept maps for review sessions.
How is this better than just making traditional outline notes?
Traditional outlines force a linear path. Mind maps allow you to diagram complex systems and relationships instantly—essential for AP History where concepts overlap across time periods and themes—offering far greater brainstorm visibility.
