Frequently Asked Questions About Document Quizzing
Addressing common queries regarding file processing and assessment output.
How does the AI generate questions from my uploaded PDF?
The AI utilizes advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) to semantically analyze the text within your PDF. It identifies core concepts, definitions, and complex relationships, then crafts high-quality multiple-choice questions that test comprehension rather than simple memorization.
What types of documents and inputs are supported?
We support uploading PDF files, DOCX documents, PowerPoint presentations (PPTX), and image files (like JPEGs or PNGs of handwritten notes or slides). You can also bypass uploads entirely by typing a detailed prompt.
Can I use the exported quizzes for formal testing environments?
Yes, the system is designed for high utility. You can export assessments into PDF or Word for printouts, or use QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML formats, which are industry standards for importing quizzes directly into most major Learning Management Systems (LMS).
Is there a limit to how much content I can process for free?
The app is fundamentally free to use, allowing you to experience the core features. The free tier includes a generous allotment of generation credits. For educators or heavy users requiring unlimited content processing or access to our most advanced AI model, a paid subscription is available.
