Frequently Asked Questions About AI Quiz Generation

Quick answers regarding our document ingestion and export capabilities.

How does the AI actually generate questions from my documents?

The AI uses advanced Natural Language Understanding (NLU) to parse uploaded text and images. It identifies concepts, definitions, and complex usage patterns, converting them into structured multiple-choice formats, ensuring questions test critical understanding rather than simple memorization.

What types of files can I upload to generate my ESL quiz?

We support PDF documents, Microsoft Word (.docx), PowerPoint presentations (.pptx), and common image formats (like JPG or PNG) containing text. You can also simply type your requirements directly into the prompt box.

Can I export the generated quizzes for use in other platforms?

Absolutely. Our platform is built for educator flexibility. You can export your final question bank to PDF, Word (DOCX), QTI 2.1 (for many assessment engines), and Moodle XML for direct import into LMS systems.

Is the AI ESL question bank generator free to use?

Yes, a generous free tier is available which allows you to test the power of the generator. Paid plans unlock significantly higher generation credits and access to our most advanced, nuanced AI model for highly complex ESL materials.
