It handled typed PDFs, scanned handwritten notes, and YouTube input, hid answers by default, and added explanations plus a live score count; the main tradeoffs are that non-MCQ formats rely on chat prompts and credits, and the longer-term study loop features were not demonstrated. ## Demo Recording [Video: StudyX AI demo recording](https://d3epheqghktydj.cloudfront.net/studyx-ai-studyx-screenrecording-d593f8a1f896.mp4) *Video — Screen recording of the upload-to-quiz workflow, from file selection through generated quiz output and chat-generated follow-up questions.* ## Feature-by-Feature Breakdown ### Quiz Generation from Study Materials **Verdict:** Worked well across typed PDF, scanned handwritten notes, and YouTube input. StudyX AI can turn study materials into quizzes from multiple source formats, including a typed NCERT PDF, a scanned handwritten-notes PDF, and a YouTube lecture URL. **Input:** > **Pdf** **Output:** > **Image** **Input:** > **Pdf** **Output:** > **Video** **Input:** YouTube lecture input ``` A 23-minute YouTube biology lecture on sexual reproduction in flowering plants. ``` **Output:** YouTube quiz questions > **Image/Png** — YouTube quiz questions **Input:** > **Pdf** **Output:** > **Video** **Input:** ``` YouTube lecture URL: https://youtu.be/frlnV_CcQw8?si=RX-jYRtxtRYD3bw_ ``` **Output:** > **Video** **Bottom line:** Strongest on typed PDFs, but handwritten OCR and direct YouTube ingestion also worked. ### Active Recall Quiz Interface **Verdict:** Good for self-directed recall, but the reveal is user-controlled rather than locked. StudyX AI runs quizzes with answers hidden by default and lets learners reveal answers and explanations after attempting each question, supporting manual self-testing during a practice session. **Input:** ``` Take a quiz question with the answer hidden until the learner reveals it. ``` **Output:** > **Image** **Bottom line:** Good for active recall practice, but the tool does not prevent answer-peeking. ### Question Type Conversion and Rewriting **Verdict:** Useful add-on for non-MCQ practice and question restyling, but it depends on chat prompts and credits. StudyX AI can transform chapter content into other question formats and restyle questions, including true/false, fill-in-the-blanks, short-answer, and more application-style prompts. **Input:** ``` Based on the same chapter, create 5 True/False questions, 5 Fill in the Blanks, and 5 Short Answer Questions. Use only the chapter content and include an answer key. ``` **Output:** > **Video** **Input:** ``` Reframe the question about the coleoptile in monocot embryos into a more application-style question. ``` **Output:** > **Image** **Bottom line:** Works well for format expansion and question restyling, but the extra chat step and credit cost make it a secondary workflow. ### In-Session Score Tracking **Verdict:** Shows a live correct/incorrect count during the session. StudyX AI tracks correct and incorrect answers during an active quiz and shows a live score card for immediate feedback within the session. **Input:** ``` Answer quiz questions during the session and observe the live score card. ``` **Output:** > **Image** **Bottom line:** Useful for immediate feedback in a single sitting, but no persistent progress history was demonstrated. ## Free tier tested Credits-based usage was observed during the test session. | Plan | Price | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | | Free ★ (tested) | 30 credits/day | 7 credits per quiz generation; 2 credits per AI chat message. | *Paid tiers were not tested.* ## Is It Right For You? **Use it if** - You want quizzes from typed PDFs, scanned handwritten notes, or YouTube lectures. - You care most about MCQ distractor quality and immediate explanations. - You want hidden-answer practice and a live score count during a study session. - You’re okay using chat credits when you need true/false, fill-in-the-blanks, or short-answer formats. **Skip it if** - You need export/share, flashcards, or LMS integration confirmed. - You need spaced repetition, adaptive difficulty, or retake history demonstrated. - You need non-MCQ quiz types natively without chat prompts. - You want a hard commit-then-reveal lock that prevents answer peeking. ## Classification - **Category:** education-research - **Subcategory:** quiz-generator - **Type:** text - **Built for:** Student, Teacher ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q: Does StudyX AI work with PDFs, handwritten notes, and YouTube lectures?** Yes. In this research it successfully processed a typed PDF, a scanned handwritten-notes PDF, and a direct YouTube lecture URL. **Q: Does StudyX AI only make multiple-choice questions?** The native quiz output in this test was MCQ-only. True/False, fill-in-the-blanks, and short-answer items were generated through chat prompts instead, and those used extra credits. **Q: Can you hide the answers while taking a quiz?** Yes. Answers are hidden by default and revealed with a toggle, but the interface does not force an answer submission before reveal. **Q: Does StudyX AI show a score while you study?** Yes. The preserved session showed a live correct/incorrect score tracker during the quiz. **Q: Does StudyX AI support flashcards or export?** Flashcards and export were not tested in this research, so neither was confirmed.
