Frequently Asked Questions About Document-Based Quiz Creation

Addressing common concerns about input methods, accuracy, and output flexibility.

How does the AI ensure the questions accurately reflect my PDF content?

Our AI uses advanced semantic analysis to identify main arguments, technical terms, and conceptual relationships within the text of your uploaded PDF. It focuses on generating questions that test understanding, not just memorization of formatting.

What types of files can I upload besides PDFs to generate my custom quiz?

We support robust extraction from PDF documents, Microsoft Word (.docx) files, PowerPoint presentations (.ppt/.pptx), and various image formats. You can also use a direct text prompt if no document is available.

Can I export the quiz for use in a Learning Management System (LMS)?

Absolutely. Beyond standard PDF and Word documents, we support export to QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML formats, allowing for seamless integration and bulk uploading into platforms like Canvas or Blackboard.

What is the difference between the free version and the paid subscription plan?

The free tier allows you to generate a limited number of quizzes using our standard model. The paid plan unlocks higher generation credit limits, access to our most advanced, cutting-edge AI model for superior accuracy, and priority support.
