Common questions
Can I use my own text instead of generating a passage?
Yes. Paste any text — from a textbook, article, news story, or your own writing. The CEFR level and topic are detected automatically, and exercises are built from your passage.
What text styles can I generate?
Seven: prose, email, letter, dialogue, blog post, report, and article. Each is rendered with authentic formatting — an email looks like an email, a dialogue has named speakers.
What are the exam-aligned presets?
Six presets: Starter (A1–B1), Quick Comprehension (all levels), Cambridge Reading (B1+), IELTS Style (B1+), Comprehensive (B1+), and Deep Analysis (B1+). Each preset selects a curated mix of exercise types that match the exam format.
How many questions are generated?
You control the number per exercise type. A Quick Comprehension preset might generate 8–10 questions. A Comprehensive preset generates 15–20 across multiple types. You set the mix.
