How a Kahoot-style quiz generator builds questions from your material

Teachers and students often want a Kahoot-style quiz generator that works from their own material rather than a generic question bank. The useful test is whether the questions match the lecture, chapter or slides in front of you.

Questions are generated from the material you upload, not a fixed bank.
Each multiple-choice, true/false or open question includes an explanation.
Photos of pages are read with text recognition, so handwritten-free printed notes work too.
Paid plans export to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV for use in other tools.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a World War II review quiz include?

Ten to twenty questions is a manageable length for one review session. Build separate quizzes for each theater or decade so the answers stay focused.

What makes a good quiz question about a historical event?

Ask about the cause, date or outcome of one specific event rather than a broad theme. Make each wrong option a plausible alternative, such as a nearby date or a related treaty.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, but exports require a paid plan.

Which formats can I export to?

Plus ($39/year or $7.99/month) includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro ($14.99/month) adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML. Students get 40% off with a school email.
