How to Choose an AI Study Tool, and Where We Fit

Most tools in this category look alike from the outside. The differences that matter are whether it works from your own material, whether it tests you or only summarises, and whether anything survives the session. Here are the questions worth asking, an honest account of where we fit, and where we are not the right choice.

Six Questions Worth Asking of Any Tool

These separate the products in this category far better than feature lists do. Ask them of us too.

• Does it work from your material, or from the internet? Being examined on your lecturer's chapter is different from being taught the subject in general.
• Does it test you, or only summarise? Summaries feel productive and teach very little. Being made to produce answers is what moves knowledge.
• Does anything survive the session? A chat you have to re-explain yourself to each time is a different tool from one that remembers where you stopped.
• Can you prove any of it afterwards? Most tools produce nothing a third party can check.
• Does it work in your language — properly? Interface translation is not the same as being taught, quizzed and examined in your language.
• What does it cost when you use it heavily? Monthly plans and pay-per-use behave very differently for a learner who studies in bursts.

Where We Fit

Learning Clarity is strongest when you already have material and a deadline. You upload or describe it, it becomes a roadmap of subtopics, and from there the product is built around being tested rather than being told: knowledge checks inside every explanation, quizzes, timed exams with a mastery report naming your weak areas, and an examination history. On top of that sit the things almost nobody else in this category does — a two-voice podcast episode of your own material, a spoken conversation that has already read it, read-aloud, and a certificate with a public verification link. Seven languages, with the language you study in set separately from the language your material is in.

Where We Are Not the Right Choice

Worth knowing before you spend anything. If one of these is your core need, another tool will serve you better:

• You want a flashcard deck — there are no flashcards and no Anki import or export. Quiz Mode and knowledge checks do the same job, but they are not cards and you cannot take them elsewhere.
• You want to upload recorded lectures — audio and video cannot be uploaded. Slides, PDFs, images and text only.
• You want a bank of real past exam questions — for professional exams such as medical SBAs, questions here are generated from the material you supply. That is useful for understanding, and it is not the same as drilling a curated bank of real past papers.
• You need an accredited qualification — our certificates are verifiable but not accredited, carry no academic credit and are not a licence.
• You want a permanently free tool — there is a free start of 500 credits, but sustained use is paid, and uploading your own files needs 1,000 credits before it will run.

Using It Alongside Other Tools

Most people use more than one thing, and that is sensible rather than a failure of any of them. A common shape: a general assistant for quick questions while reading, a dedicated tool for the structured pass through your own material and the testing, and a flashcard app if you like cards for pure recall. What we are trying to be good at is the middle part — turning a pile of material into a sequence you can work through and be measured on.

Creating Your First Topic

Two ways to feed the AI. Pick the one that matches where you are right now.

Method 1: Describe Topic

Best when you have a concept in mind but no formal materials yet. Simply describe what you want to learn — for example, "I want to understand how neural networks work" or "Prepare me for the AWS Solutions Architect exam."

The AI will generate a structured roadmap of sub-topics, ordered from foundational to advanced. Each sub-topic becomes its own learning module.

Method 2: Upload Resources

Have a PDF, lecture notes, or a study guide? Upload it. The AI reads your material and extracts the key sub-topics automatically — no highlighting, no re-reading, no decision fatigue.

This is especially powerful when you have course materials but no clear structure. The AI builds the roadmap so you can stop guessing and start moving.

Choosing Your Explanation & Quiz Language

During topic creation, you'll be asked to select the language for your explanations and quizzes. This is the language the AI will use to teach you — all Explain Mode content, knowledge checks, and Quiz Mode questions will be generated in this language.

This setting is independent of your interface language and your source material. For example, you can upload a textbook in English but choose to receive explanations in German. The AI reads the original material and teaches you in the language you selected.

What Happens After You Create a Topic?

Regardless of which method you choose, the AI breaks your subject into bite-sized sub-topics. You'll see your entire roadmap laid out — no more guessing what comes next. The sequence is built in.

From here, you choose how to engage with each sub-topic:

You can use both modes in any order. Many learners start with Explain Mode to build understanding, then switch to Quiz Mode to validate their knowledge — but the choice is yours.

Watch Tutorial

Studying From Your Own Notes

Upload your own PDFs, images or text files and Learning Clarity reads them, pulls out the sub-topics, and builds a roadmap you can study, test yourself on, sit an exam on, or turn into a podcast. This page covers exactly what you can upload, what it costs, and what to do when a file will not go through.

What You Can Upload

Open Create Topic and choose Upload Resources. You can select several files at once, and they are read together as a single body of material.

• PDF — up to 40 MB per file.
• Images (PNG, JPG, JPEG) — up to 10 MB each, and at most 7 images in one upload.
• Plain text (.txt) — up to 5 MB per file.
• Everything together — up to 50 MB in a single upload.

What You Cannot Upload

Word documents and PowerPoint slide decks cannot be uploaded directly. Save or export them as PDF first — every word processor and presentation tool offers this from its File menu — and the PDF uploads normally.

What It Costs, and the One Thing to Know First

Building a topic from uploaded material needs a balance of at least 1,000 credits before it will start. Signing up gives you 500 free credits, so the upload route is not available on the starter balance on its own.

When a File Will Not Go Through

• A scanned or photographed page — a PDF that is really a picture of a page has no text layer to read. If you cannot select the text in a PDF reader, neither can we. Export a version that contains real text, or upload the original document the scan was made from.
• A password-protected PDF — remove the protection and upload it again.
• Too large — split a long document into parts and build a topic from each. Smaller topics also produce sharper sub-topics.
• Too many photos — more than 7 images in one upload is refused. Send them in batches.

What Happens After the Upload

Your material is read and broken into sub-topics, and from then on it behaves like any other topic — Explain Mode walks you through it, Quiz Mode and Exam Mode test you on it, and it can be read aloud, turned into a podcast episode, or talked through out loud.

How This Differs From Asking a General AI Chat

A general assistant will happily summarise a document you paste in, and for a quick answer that is often enough. The difference is what survives the conversation: here your material becomes a roadmap that remembers where you stopped, timed exams with a mastery report, and an examination history you can look back on. The material stays the source; the studying is what gets built on top of it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Explain Mode: Understanding, Chunk by Chunk

This is where learning actually happens. Not memorization. Not skimming. Understanding — the kind that stays.

What Are Bite-Sized Chunks?

When you open a sub-topic in Explain Mode, the AI doesn't hand you a wall of text. It breaks the material into small, focused chunks — each one teaching a single concept. You move through them one at a time, at your own pace.

This approach is based on cognitive load theory: your brain processes information more effectively in small, organized pieces rather than long, unstructured blocks.

Interactive Elements

Charts & Visualizations

Complex relationships — data trends, comparisons, structures — are rendered as interactive charts powered by professional visualization libraries. These aren't decorative images; they're tools for understanding. Hover, zoom, and explore the data behind the concept.

Smart Callouts

Key definitions, warnings, and important distinctions appear in highlighted callout boxes. These draw your attention to the information that matters most — the details that separate someone who "kind of gets it" from someone who truly understands.

Code Examples

For technical and programming topics, Explain Mode includes syntax-highlighted code examples with annotations. Each code block is paired with a plain-language explanation so you see both the "what" and the "why."

Knowledge Checks

At the end of each chunk, you'll encounter a quick knowledge check — a question or prompt that asks you to apply what you just read. This isn't a formal quiz; it's a checkpoint to make sure the concept landed before you move on.

If you get it right, you proceed with confidence. If not, the AI clarifies the gap immediately. No waiting, no confusion accumulating in the background.

Moving Through a Sub-Topic

Progress through each chunk at your own speed. The AI tracks where you are, so you can close the app and pick up exactly where you left off. No bookmarks, no lost progress.

Once you've worked through all the chunks and passed the knowledge checks, that sub-topic is marked as explained. From here, you're ready for Quiz Mode to prove real mastery.

Going Deeper: Explain Further, Simplify & Visualize

Below each chunk, up to three buttons are available — Explain Further, Simplify, and Visualize (shown on chunks that contain charts). These are instant, on-demand responses that appear inline without advancing your session.

Explain Further

Tap Explain Further for more depth: a step-by-step breakdown, real-world examples, analogies, or a closer look at common misconceptions. The result appears in a highlighted frame directly below the chunk.

Simplify

Tap Simplify to get the same idea rewritten in shorter sentences and simpler vocabulary — useful when the original explanation feels too dense or technical.

Visualize

Tap Visualize on chunks that contain a chart to generate an AI-created schematic image of the concept. The image is tailored to your topic's language and your learning level, and appears in the same highlighted frame alongside your Explain Further and Simplify results. You can tap Visualize multiple times — each attempt adds a new image to your navigable history. Each Visualize call deducts 250 credits.

Click as Many Times as You Need

Each click sends the AI the original chunk plus the full history of previous responses. On the 3rd attempt and beyond, the AI switches to a completely different teaching approach — a story, analogy, real-world scenario, or first-principles breakdown — instead of rephrasing the same content.

Use the ◀ / ▶ arrows in the result header to navigate between your attempts. The full history persists while you move between chunks in the same session.

Which Mode, and Where to Start

Explain, Quiz and Exam are three different jobs, not three difficulty levels. Explain teaches, Quiz checks while you learn, Exam measures under pressure. This page covers which to use when, what to do when material is too dense, and how to start a subject you know nothing about.

The Three Modes, and What Each Is For

Use them in that order within a subtopic, and cycle back as often as you like.

• Explain Mode — to understand it the first time. Walks through the material in chunks with a knowledge check at each step. This is where learning happens, and also where it is easiest to fool yourself that it has.
• Quiz Mode — to check while you are still learning. Lower stakes, immediate feedback, use it straight after a subtopic while the material is fresh.
• Exam Mode — to measure, not to learn. Timed, covering the subtopics you choose, and it produces a mastery level with your strong and weak areas. Its value is diagnostic: it tells you where to spend your remaining time.

When the Material Is Too Dense

Inside Explain Mode, Simplify rewrites the current explanation in plainer terms and Explain Further goes deeper on the same point. Use Simplify when a paragraph will not go in, and Explain Further when you half-understand something and want to test whether it holds up — a claim that falls apart under expansion is one you have not understood yet. Neither costs you your place in the roadmap.

Starting a Subject You Know Nothing About

Starting at the beginning and going straight through is a reasonable instinct, and it is usually the wrong one when the subject is unfamiliar — it spends your freshest attention on the introduction and leaves the hard middle for when you are tired. Describe the topic and let the roadmap of subtopics form first: seeing the shape of a subject before studying it tells you which parts are foundations for later ones. Then do one fast pass over everything before trying to master any of it, so nothing is a complete surprise the second time through.

Study From the Source, or From Questions?

Both, in that order. Working only from question banks teaches you the questions rather than the subject, and it collapses the moment an exam asks something phrased differently. Working only from the source feels thorough but hides what you cannot yet do. The sequence that works is to understand from your own material first, then use questions to find out where that understanding is thinner than it felt.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quiz Mode: Prove What You Know

Reading is not knowing. Quiz Mode closes the gap between "I think I get it" and "I can prove it."

Question Types

Quiz Mode adapts to the material with a mix of question formats:

• Multiple Choice — Select the correct answer from a set of options. Tests recognition and elimination skills.
• True / False — Evaluate a statement and decide whether it's correct. Quick and focused — great for reinforcing key facts.
• Open Ended — Write your answer in your own words. The AI evaluates your response for accuracy and completeness. This is where real understanding shows.
• Fill in the Blank — Complete a sentence by supplying the missing word or phrase. Tests precise recall without giving you options to choose from.

The "I Don't Know" Button

This is the most underrated feature in the entire app.

When you see a question and genuinely don't know the answer, press "I Don't Know." The AI records that honestly and adjusts accordingly. Why is this powerful?

"Explain This" — AI Explanations Inside Quiz Mode

When you tap "I Don't Know", the answer panel reveals along with an "Explain This" button. Tapping it calls the AI to generate a focused, in-context explanation of the exact concept the question is testing — without leaving quiz mode.

Your Score Breakdown

After completing a quiz, you'll see a detailed breakdown:

• Overall score — Your percentage of correct answers.
• Per-question analysis — Which questions you got right, wrong, or marked as "I Don't Know."
• Weak areas — Specific concepts flagged for review.
• Next Steps — The AI recommends whether to proceed to the next sub-topic or revisit specific chunks in Explain Mode first.

Next Steps Recommendations

Based on your score, the AI suggests one of two paths: advance to the next sub-topic if you've demonstrated mastery, or return to Explain Mode for targeted review of the concepts you missed. This loop — Explain, Quiz, Review — is the engine that builds durable knowledge.

Studying Code, Docs and Technical Material

Documentation, a framework you have to pick up by Monday, a language you are learning properly rather than by copying snippets — all of it works the same way as any other topic. This page covers how to get technical material in, what the explanations include, and the one place audio is the wrong tool.

It Works the Same Way, With Code in the Explanations

A technical topic behaves like any other: it becomes a roadmap of subtopics, Explain Mode walks you through them, and the explanations include worked code examples alongside the diagrams and callouts. Then Quiz Mode and Exam Mode question you on it. The useful difference from reading documentation is that documentation never asks you anything back.

Getting Technical Material In

• Documentation as a PDF — most docs sites and API references can be printed or exported to PDF, and that uploads normally.
• A technical book or course PDF — upload it in chapters rather than whole, so each topic stays a workable size.
• Or just describe it — "the React hooks lifecycle", "how transformer attention works", "OAuth device flow". For a well-established technology this is often faster than finding a document, and it is the route your free credits cover.
• Not a repository — you cannot point it at a GitHub repo or a URL, and it does not read a codebase. Upload the docs or describe the concept instead.

Audio Is the Wrong Tool for Code

Read It Aloud speaks text as it is written, which means a code block is read out symbol by symbol and becomes unusable noise. This is a real limitation and worth knowing before you try it on a technical section. The spoken conversation handles it differently and better: it is instructed never to read code, a URL or a table aloud, and to say instead that it is on screen and describe what it does.

Explaining a Technical Idea Out Loud

This is where technical material rewards the spoken conversation most, because so much of a developer's job is explaining a decision to someone else. Talk through why you would use a queue here, defend a schema choice, or try to explain what you think a piece of code does — and get pushed on the parts you were hand-waving. It is also the closest rehearsal there is for a technical interview, which has its own page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Exam Mode: Test Yourself for Real

Quizzes build habits. Exams reveal the truth. Exam Mode simulates a real assessment environment so you know exactly where you stand before it counts.

Exam Mode vs. Quiz Mode

Both modes use the same question types, but they serve different purposes:

• Quiz Mode — Short, focused practice on one subtopic at a time. Great for reinforcing a specific concept right after you study it.
• Exam Mode — A full exam spanning multiple subtopics. Designed to simulate a real test and measure your overall mastery of a topic.

Setting Up Your Exam

The Exam Setup wizard has two steps:

During the Exam

Once the exam starts, you'll see one question at a time. The interface is designed to keep you focused:

• Question navigation dots — A row of dots at the top shows your progress. Answered questions turn pink; the current question is purple; unanswered questions are grey.
• Next Unanswered button — Jumps directly to the next question you haven't answered yet, so you can skip difficult questions and come back.
• Timer — If timed, the countdown is displayed at the top. The color shifts from green → amber → red as time runs low. The exam submits automatically when time expires.
• Answered count — Always visible so you can track how many questions remain.

Your Exam Results

After submitting, the AI generates a detailed analysis of your performance:

• Overall score — Your percentage of correct answers, with a clear pass/fail indicator (70% threshold).
• Mastery level — Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced — reflecting the depth of understanding you demonstrated.
• Strong areas — Subtopics where you performed consistently well.
• Weak areas — Subtopics that need more study. These are the areas to revisit in Explain Mode or Quiz Mode before your next attempt.
• Recommended next steps — Personalized guidance on what to do after the exam: go deeper, review specific subtopics, or move on.
• Question-by-question review — Expand any question to see your answer, the correct answer, and the AI's feedback.

Hierarchical Exam Scoping

Exam Mode operates at three scope levels. The entry point determines how wide the exam can reach:

• Topic Exam — launched from a single topic's detail page. Step 1 lets you select individual subtopics within that topic.
• Course Exam — launched from a course detail page. Step 1 shows a two-level tree: Topics → Subtopics, so you can include or exclude entire topics at once.
• Plan Exam — launched from a Learning Plan. Step 1 shows a three-level tree: Courses → Topics → Subtopics, giving you control over the full curriculum scope.

All three levels share the same Step 2 configuration screen (question count, types, difficulty, timer). Only the selection breadth in Step 1 differs.

During the Exam

The exam interface is designed to replicate a real testing environment:

• Live countdown timer — If you chose a timed exam, the remaining time is displayed prominently at all times.
• Numbered question navigator — A panel of numbered buttons lets you see all questions at a glance. Answered and unanswered questions are visually distinguished.
• Non-linear navigation — Use Previous and Next to move through questions in order, or jump to any question directly from the navigator. A Next Unanswered button skips ahead to the first question you haven't answered yet.
• No per-question feedback — You receive no indication of whether your answer is correct until you submit the full exam. This is intentional — it mirrors real examination conditions.
• Submit Exam — When you're ready, tap Submit Exam to finalise all answers at once. After submission, the AI grades your responses and generates a full results analysis.

Credit Cost

Exam Mode consumes credits in two stages: once when generating the questions, and once when the AI evaluates your answers and produces the results analysis. The total cost scales with the number of questions and types selected.

Watch: How Exam Mode Works

Watch Tutorial

Credits & Payments

Pay only for what you use. No subscriptions. No surprises.

How Credits Work

Credits are the currency of the platform. They are consumed when you use AI-powered features:

• Creating a new topic — The AI analyzes your material and generates a structured roadmap.
• Explain Mode — Generating bite-sized explanations, charts, and knowledge checks.
• Quiz Mode — Creating adaptive assessments and evaluating your answers.

Each action costs a small number of credits. The more complex the AI processing, the more credits consumed — but the model is designed so that a single credit purchase goes a long way.

Free Credits

When you create your account, you receive free credits immediately. Use them to explore the platform — create a topic, try Explain Mode, take a quiz — and experience the full learning loop before purchasing.

Credit Tiers

Referral Program

Learning Clarity rewards you for spreading the word. When you refer someone to the platform and they make their first credit purchase, you receive 10% of the credits they bought — added directly to your balance.

For example, if your friend purchases the Advanced package (28,500 credits), you automatically receive 2,850 bonus credits. There's no cap on how many people you can refer — the more friends you invite, the more credits you earn.

Payment & Refund Policy

All payments are processed securely through Stripe. Your credit card details are never stored on Learning Clarity's servers — Stripe handles everything.

Credits are non-refundable and non-transferable between accounts. They don't expire, so you can use them at whatever pace suits your learning schedule.

What You Get Free, and Why There Is No Subscription

Creating an account gives you 500 free credits, and no card is asked for. There is no subscription and nothing to cancel — you buy credits only when you want more, they never expire, and everything you have already built stays yours even when your balance reaches zero.

What the 500 Free Credits Cover

They arrive the moment your account is created. There is no trial period, no card kept on file, and nothing that quietly starts charging when a trial runs out.

What Each Thing Needs

Every action has a minimum balance it will not start below. These are the floors, not the final price — what an action actually costs depends on how much work it does.

• Describing a topic in your own words — from 50 credits. This is the route your free credits are meant for.
• Building a topic from uploaded files — needs at least 1,000 credits, so it is not available on the free balance on its own.
• An AI-built course — from 150 credits.
• Reading a section aloud — from 70 credits, and every replay of that section is free.

There Is No Subscription to Cancel

Credits are bought as a one-off purchase. Nothing renews, no card is kept on file for automatic charging, and there is no plan running quietly in the background. If you came here hunting for a cancel button, there is nothing to cancel — stop buying credits and nothing further is ever charged.

What Happens When Your Balance Reaches Zero

Nothing is taken away. Your topics, roadmaps, explanations, quiz and exam history, certificates and progress all stay exactly where they were. A zero balance stops you generating new material; it does not lock or delete what you already have. The only thing that removes your content is deleting your account yourself.

Why Pay at All, When a General AI Chat Is Free?

A general assistant answers a question and forgets it. What you are paying for here is what remains afterwards: a roadmap through the subject that remembers where you stopped, quizzes and timed exams built from your own material, a mastery report naming your weak areas, an examination history you can look back over, audio you can keep, and a certificate with a public verification link an employer can check. If a one-off answer is genuinely all you need, a free chat is the better tool and we would rather say so.

Frequently Asked Questions

Checkout Not Loading?

Your antivirus browser extension is likely the cause — not a problem with your account.

What's Happening

Stripe's checkout page enforces a strict Content Security Policy (CSP) — it only allows its own trusted scripts and styles to run.

Browser extensions from antivirus tools — such as Kaspersky, Avast, Norton, and similar products — inject their own scripts and styles into every page you visit, including Stripe's checkout. Stripe's CSP rightfully blocks these injections, and in the process, Stripe's own scripts can also fail to load.

Common Symptoms

• The checkout page goes blank or never finishes loading
• A spinning loader that never resolves
• Console errors mentioning MIME type mismatches, CSP violations, or CORS failures
• Error codes like 499 on Stripe's JS bundles

How to Fix It

Tracking Your Progress

See exactly where you stand. No guesswork, no vague feelings — data that shows your real trajectory.

Your Learning Dashboard

The dashboard is your mission control. It gives you a clear view of every topic you've created, how far you've progressed through each one, and your quiz performance over time.

What You'll See

• Topic list — Every topic you've created, with a progress bar showing how many sub-topics you've completed.
• Quiz history — Scores for every quiz attempt, so you can track improvement across retakes.
• Performance analytics — Patterns in your results. Which question types give you trouble? Where do you consistently score well?
• Mastery Level — An aggregate indicator of your understanding across all sub-topics within a topic, built from your Explain Mode completion and Quiz Mode scores.

Using Progress Data Effectively

Numbers alone aren't useful unless you act on them. Here's how to read your dashboard like a strategist:

• If a sub-topic shows low quiz scores, return to Explain Mode for that sub-topic. Re-read the chunks, pay special attention to the knowledge checks.
• If your overall mastery is high but one area is lagging, focus your next session there. Don't review what you already know — spend time on the gap.
• Track your score trends over multiple quiz attempts. Improvement over time matters more than any single score.

Devices, Browsers and the Mobile App

Learning Clarity runs in a web browser on any device — phone, tablet or laptop — and there are also iOS and Android apps. Everything in the web version works on a phone screen, including the voice features, provided you allow microphone access when asked.

The Web Version, on Any Device

There is nothing to install to get started. Signing in from a phone browser gives you the same product as a laptop — creating topics, Explain Mode, quizzes, exams, podcasts and spoken conversations all work. Use a current version of whichever browser you prefer and keep it up to date, since the voice and audio features rely on capabilities that older browsers may not have.

The iOS and Android Apps

There are native apps for iPhone and Android as well. They are worth having if you study on a phone regularly, and there is one thing that can only be done there: deleting your account permanently is available in the mobile app, not on the web.

Microphone Permission

The spoken conversation needs access to your microphone, so your browser or phone will ask for permission the first time you start a call. If you decline, the call cannot hear you — you can still type your side of the conversation instead, and the answer still comes back spoken. If you declined by accident, the permission can be re-enabled in your browser's site settings or your phone's app settings.

Listening While You Are Doing Something Else

A podcast episode can be downloaded as an MP3, which is the option to use when you will be somewhere with poor signal or want it in your usual audio app. Read-aloud sections play inside the app rather than downloading, and the podcast player keeps playing while you move around the rest of the app.

Frequently Asked Questions

Profile Settings

Your profile is your control centre — manage your personal information, language preferences, and account details all in one place.

Accessing Your Profile

Tap your avatar or profile icon in the top-right corner of the app, then select Profile. From here you can view and edit all of your account settings.

Personal Information

Your profile stores the basics: your name, email address, and date of birth. The date of birth is used to tailor the learning experience — younger learners receive age-appropriate explanations, visuals, and tone, while adult learners get a more advanced, professional presentation.

Interface Language

You can change the language of the entire user interface at any time from your Profile page. This controls all menus, buttons, navigation labels, and system messages. Learning Clarity currently supports seven interface languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Arabic.

Switching is instant — the interface updates immediately, and your learning content remains untouched. For Arabic and other RTL languages, the full layout mirrors automatically.

Social Links

Your profile page includes a Social Links section where you can add links to your social media profiles. Supported platforms are:

• Instagram
• TikTok
• YouTube
• Upscrolled — the Learning Clarity community platform

Social links are optional and visible to other Learning Clarity users who visit your profile. You can add, edit, or remove them at any time from the Social Links section on your Profile page.

Account Security

From your profile you can also update your password. For a full overview of how your data is secured, see Security & Trust.

What Happens to the Material You Upload

Your uploaded notes, slides and PDFs stay yours, are kept isolated to your account, and are processed in order to build your topics, quizzes and exams. This page is about what that processing involves in practice, who can see your material, and where the honest limits of our answer are.

The Material Stays Yours

Uploading a document does not transfer ownership of it. Your files and the content generated from them belong to you, and they exist in your account for you to study from, not as something we publish, resell or share.

Who Can See It

Your material is isolated to your account at the database level, so other learners cannot reach it — there is no shared pool where one person's uploads become visible to another. Content only leaves your account if you deliberately share it using the sharing feature.

It Is Sent to an AI Service to Be Processed

This is the part worth understanding. To turn a PDF into subtopics, explanations and questions, the material has to be sent to the AI service that does that work. That is not a side effect — it is the mechanism by which the product functions at all. Those services handle the data according to their own terms, which are outside our control.

Removing It

Deleting your account removes your content. That is a permanent action rather than a pause, and the Delete Account article covers exactly what goes and what the process involves before you start it.

The Authoritative Version

This page is a plain-language summary written to answer the question learners actually ask. The Privacy Policy is the binding statement of what is collected, how it is used, which third parties are involved and what your rights are. Where the two ever appear to differ, the Privacy Policy is the one that governs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Security & Trust

Your data is yours. Here's exactly how we protect it.

Data Isolation

Every user's data is protected by Row-Level Security (RLS) at the database level. This means you can only access your own topics, quiz results, and progress data — no user can see another user's information, even in theory.

Encryption & Authentication

• HTTPS everywhere — All data in transit between your browser and Learning Clarity's servers is encrypted.
• Password hashing — Your password is cryptographically hashed. We never store or have access to your plaintext password.
• JWT authentication — API communications are secured with JSON Web Tokens to prevent unauthorized access.
• OAuth options — Sign in with Google, Microsoft, or Apple. Learning Clarity never receives your password from these services.

Secure Payments

All credit purchases are processed through Stripe, an industry-leading payment processor. Your credit card number and CVV are never stored on Learning Clarity's servers. Webhook events from Stripe are verified using signature verification to prevent tampering.

Privacy by Design

• Cookie usage — Learning Clarity uses cookies for core service functionality and to measure how the platform is used so we can improve it.
• Minimal data collection — We collect only what's necessary to provide the service: your profile, learning data, and transaction records.
• Your uploads stay yours — You retain ownership of any educational materials you upload. The AI processes them solely to generate your learning content.

Frequently Asked Questions

Two Weeks, Two Hundred Pages: A Deadline Plan

A large set of lecture PDFs and a close exam date is the most common hard case, and the usual mistake is to upload everything at once and start reading from page one. This is a sequence that works instead: split the material, build the roadmap, study actively, then sit a timed mock exam and let it tell you where to spend the last few days.

Split It Before You Upload It

Do not put two hundred pages in as one topic. Split the material the way the course does — by module, by lecture block, by chapter — and build a topic from each. Smaller uploads produce sharper subtopics, they keep each roadmap a realistic size, and they sit comfortably inside the upload limits instead of fighting them.

A Shape for the Two Weeks

• Days 1–7 — cover the ground. Work through each module in Explain Mode, answering the knowledge checks rather than skipping them. Run a quiz at the end of each module while it is fresh. The aim is contact with everything, not mastery of anything yet.
• Days 8–12 — find out what you do not know. Sit a timed exam per module. Read the mastery report and the weak areas, and spend your study time only on what it names. This is the part that makes the fortnight work, and it is the part people skip.
• Last 48 hours — retrieve, do not re-read. Re-reading feels productive and teaches almost nothing this late. Re-sit the exams you scored worst on, and explain the two or three shakiest subtopics out loud in a spoken conversation. If you cannot say it, you do not know it yet.

Let the Mastery Report Allocate Your Time

After a timed exam you get a mastery level, your strong areas, your weak areas and recommended next steps. That list is the whole point of sitting the mock early rather than the night before: it converts a vague sense of being behind into a specific, short list of subtopics. Study that list. Revisit it after each re-sit, because it moves.

Use the Dead Time

Commutes, walks and queues are hours you already have. Turn a module into a podcast episode and listen to it, or have a section read aloud. It is not a substitute for active work — listening is passive, and passive is what the fortnight cannot afford much of — but it is a way of getting a fourth or fifth pass over material you have already worked through properly.

One Honest Caveat

Two weeks is enough to pass a subject you have attended and neglected. It is not enough to learn a subject you have never seen, and no study tool changes that. If you are genuinely starting from zero on all two hundred pages, choose the modules that carry the most marks and accept that you are triaging rather than covering — which is exactly what the 80/20 approach is for.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mastering Any Topic in 30 Minutes

A focused sprint that combines Explain Mode and Quiz Mode into a single, high-impact session.

The 20/10 Sprint

This is a structured session format based on the "Micro-Chunk" and "Sprint" principles. The idea is simple: learn in focused bursts, then immediately test yourself.

Why 30 Minutes Works

Research on spaced repetition and focused attention shows that short, intense study sessions produce better long-term retention than marathon sessions. Your brain consolidates information more effectively when it has time to rest between bursts.

One 30-minute sprint per day, done consistently, will outperform a weekly five-hour cram session every time.

Rehearsing a Job Interview Out Loud

Paste the job description and your CV in as a topic, and you can be questioned on them out loud — behavioural questions, technical ones, the awkward gap in your history — as many times as you like. The conversation is written down afterwards, so you can read back what you actually said rather than what you meant to say.

Setting It Up

Interview practice is just a topic, so build one out of the material the interview will actually be about:

• The job description — paste it in as the topic description, or upload it as a PDF. The responsibilities are the syllabus.
• Your CV — include it too. Questions then come from your history as well as the role, which is where the uncomfortable ones live.
• Name the topic for the interview, not the job — for example "Interview: senior analyst, retail banking" — so the roadmap is built around being asked rather than around learning the subject.
• Use subtopics as rounds — the roadmap breaks the material into subtopics, and each one is a sensible unit for a single rehearsal call.

Running a Rehearsal

Start a spoken conversation on one subtopic and answer out loud, without notes. Let the follow-up questions come — being pushed on a vague answer is the whole point, and it is the part reading your notes cannot do. A call runs up to nine minutes, which is close to a real interview round, so treat each call as one round rather than trying to cover everything in one sitting. Then start a fresh call on the next subtopic, so every rehearsal begins cold the way the real thing will.

What It Does Not Do

It does not score you. There is no rating of your delivery, no analysis of your tone or pace, no filler-word count and no percentage at the end. Tools built specifically for interview coaching sell exactly that, and we would rather tell you plainly than imply we do it. What you get instead is the rehearsal itself — being asked, having to answer aloud, being pushed when you were vague — and a written transcript afterwards.

Interviewing in a Second Language

If the interview will be in a language that is not your first, set the topic's content language to that language and rehearse in it. The tutor answers only in that language and will not switch back when you hesitate, which is uncomfortable and is exactly the discomfort you are training for. You can read the explanations in your own language first by creating a second topic — understand the material in the language you think in, rehearse it in the language you will be judged in.

Technical Interviews

For a technical round, make the technical material the topic — the stack, the domain, the system you will be asked to reason about — and use the conversation to explain concepts out loud under questioning. It will not run a live coding environment or watch you write code. What it is good for is the part of a technical interview that is actually spoken: explaining a trade-off, defending a design choice, admitting what you do not know without falling apart.

Frequently Asked Questions

Teach Others to Learn More (The Protégé Effect)

The research is clear: people who teach a concept understand it more deeply than those who only study it. Here's how to use that in Learning Clarity.

What Is the Protégé Effect?

The Protégé Effect is a well-documented phenomenon in learning science. When you prepare to teach material — organizing it, simplifying it, anticipating questions — you process it at a deeper level than when you study for yourself alone. The result: better retention, stronger understanding, and the ability to apply knowledge in new contexts.

How to Use Explain Mode as a Teaching Tool

Learning for Work, Not for School

Plenty of people here are not students. They are learning something for a job — a new system, a regulation, a technology a role now expects — usually in short sessions, without a syllabus, and with no exam at the end. Everything works the same way; what changes is how you use it.

It Adapts to an Adult Audience

Explanations are pitched according to your date of birth in your profile, so an adult account is written for an adult — direct, without the classroom framing or the encouragement a younger learner gets. If your explanations read as too simple or too school-like, check that your date of birth is set correctly, because that is what drives it.

There Is No Syllabus, So Make One

The hardest part of learning for work is that nothing defines what "done" means. Describe the outcome you actually need — not the subject, but the thing you must be able to do — and let it become a roadmap of subtopics. That roadmap is the syllabus nobody gave you, and it converts an open-ended intention into a finite list, which is the difference between studying and meaning to.

Built for Short Sessions

Professional study happens in the gaps: before work, between meetings, on a commute. Explain Mode is chunked, so a subtopic is a sensible unit for twenty minutes rather than something you must finish in one sitting. A podcast episode of a subtopic turns a commute into a second pass over material you have already worked through, and a spoken conversation is a way of rehearsing an explanation you will have to give to colleagues.

When You Need Something to Show

Employers and clients often want evidence rather than a claim. A timed exam produces a mastery report, and passing one can earn a certificate with a public verification link that anyone can check without an account. It is not an accredited qualification and should never be presented as one, but for internal upskilling, a personal development record or a CV line you can substantiate, it is considerably better than saying you read about it.

Frequently Asked Questions

The 80/20 Learning Method

Not all sub-topics are created equal. Learn how to identify the 20% of material that gives you 80% of the results.

What Is the Pareto Principle?

Also called the 80/20 rule, it's an observation that roughly 80% of outcomes come from 20% of causes. Applied to learning: a small subset of concepts often provides the foundation for understanding the majority of a subject.

How to Apply It in Learning Clarity

Learning Something Just Because You Want To

Not everyone here has an exam. People use this to finally understand a subject they have circled for years, to pick up a practical skill, or to satisfy a curiosity properly instead of reading three articles and forgetting them. Nothing changes mechanically — what changes is which parts are worth using.

Nothing Here Requires an Exam

You can describe a topic, get a roadmap, and work through the explanations without ever touching Quiz or Exam Mode. Plenty of people do. But consider using them anyway, for a reason that has nothing to do with marks: a quiz is the only moment in self-directed learning where you find out whether you actually understood something or merely enjoyed reading it. That distinction is invisible from the inside.

What Is Actually Worth Using

• Describe the topic rather than uploading — for a personal interest there is usually no document, and describing it in your own words is both cheaper and the route your free credits cover.
• A quiz at the end of each subtopic — three minutes, and it is the difference between having read something and knowing it.
• A podcast episode — the best fit of all for interest-led learning, because it turns a walk or a commute into the second pass that casual learning almost never gets.
• Explaining it out loud — if you cannot explain why you find it interesting, you have not understood it yet. That is uncomfortable and it is the fastest diagnostic there is.

What It Cannot Do

It cannot teach you to physically do something. For music, cooking, a sport, a craft, repairing an engine — it can teach you the theory, the vocabulary, the principles and the decisions, and it cannot watch your hands or hear your instrument. Treat it as the part of the skill that lives in your head, and expect to do the rest in the world. Knowing why a sauce splits does not stop you splitting one, but it does tell you what to change.

It Is Fine to Stop

Interest-led learning stops, and that is not a failure. Nothing here charges you for a subject you abandoned, credits do not expire, and the topics you built stay exactly where you left them if you come back in eight months. There is no streak to protect and no plan renewing quietly in the background — which is precisely why picking something up again costs nothing but the decision.

Frequently Asked Questions

What to Do When You're Not Feeling It

Overwhelm, procrastination, and low motivation are not character flaws. They're signals. Here's how to work with them.

Recognize the Pattern

Before you force yourself to study or give up entirely, pause and identify what you're actually feeling:

• "I don't know where to start" — This is decision fatigue, not lack of motivation. The solution is structure, not willpower.
• "This is too much material" — This is overwhelm from scope. The solution is narrowing your focus to a single sub-topic.
• "I'm not smart enough for this" — This is imposter syndrome triggered by difficulty. The solution is evidence — your quiz scores prove what you've already learned.
• "I just don't feel like it" — This is friction. The solution is lowering the barrier to entry.

Strategies That Work with Learning Clarity

The 5-Minute Rule

Tell yourself you'll open one sub-topic in Explain Mode and read for exactly 5 minutes. That's it. No commitment beyond that. In practice, starting is the hardest part — most people continue past the 5-minute mark once they're engaged.

The Single-Chunk Approach

Don't aim to finish a sub-topic. Open Explain Mode and read exactly one chunk. Complete its knowledge check. Close the app. You've moved forward. Tomorrow, do one more. Momentum builds from small actions, not large intentions.

Use Your Dashboard as Evidence

When imposter syndrome hits, open your progress dashboard. Look at the topics you've studied, the quizzes you've passed, the mastery levels you've built. This is objective evidence that you are, in fact, learning. Feelings lie; data doesn't.

Switch Modes

If Explain Mode feels heavy, switch to Quiz Mode on a topic you're already comfortable with. Getting a good score on familiar material rebuilds confidence. Then, when you're ready, tackle the new material.

Languages & Accessibility

Learning Clarity is built for learners everywhere — across languages, age groups, and learning needs.

Multilingual in Three Dimensions

Learning Clarity isn't just translated — it's multilingual at every layer. There are three distinct dimensions of language support, and each one works independently.

1. User Interface Language

The entire interface — menus, buttons, navigation, labels — is available in seven languages: English, Spanish (Español), French (Français), German (Deutsch), Italian (Italiano), Portuguese (Português), and Arabic (العربية). You can switch your interface language at any time from your Profile page. For Arabic and other Right-to-Left (RTL) languages, the entire layout mirrors automatically — navigation, text direction, charts, and interactive elements all adapt to RTL reading flow.

2. Explanation & Quiz Language

When you create a topic, you choose the language for your explanations and quizzes. The AI generates all Explain Mode content and Quiz Mode questions natively in that language — it's not machine-translated, so the result reads naturally. This means you can study any subject and receive teaching in the language you're most comfortable with.

3. Source Material in Any Language

Here's where it gets powerful. When you upload resources, the material can be in any language — and it doesn't need to match your explanation language. For example, you could upload a research paper in German, but choose to receive explanations and quizzes in English. Or upload lecture slides in Japanese and study them in Arabic. The AI reads the source material in its original language and teaches you in yours.

Age-Adaptive Experience

Learning Clarity uses your date of birth (provided during onboarding) to tailor the experience:

• Under 18 — The visual theme is friendlier, with a lighter tone, simpler language in explanations, and age-appropriate examples. The Supervision feature is available for parents and guardians.
• 18 and above — The interface uses a more professional theme with advanced vocabulary, detailed technical explanations, and adult-appropriate examples.

This distinction is automatic. You don't need to configure anything — the experience adapts to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Accurate Is It, and Is Studying With AI Really Learning?

Two fair questions with one honest answer. The AI can be wrong, so the product is built to make you produce answers rather than read them — knowledge checks, written answers that get graded, teaching it back, and explaining out loud. This page says what to trust, what to verify, and where the line between studying and cheating sits.

Does Studying This Way Actually Build Understanding?

Reading a generated explanation, on its own, is passive — the same weakness highlighting a textbook has. What makes the difference is being made to produce the answer yourself, and that is where most of this product sits.

• Knowledge checks inside Explain Mode interrupt each section and ask you to answer before you move on.
• Written and open-ended answers in Quiz and Exam Mode are graded on what you actually wrote, not on recognising the right option in a list.
• Teaching it back is a whole strategy in itself, and explaining something is the fastest way to find the part you cannot explain.
• Saying it out loud in a spoken conversation removes the option of half-knowing something.

It Can Be Wrong. Here Is What To Do.

No AI is reliably correct on every subject, and a wrong sentence usually arrives sounding exactly like a right one. Treat it the way you would treat a confident classmate.

• Check anything that surprises you against your own material. The notes or textbook you were given remain the authority, not the explanation.
• Use Explain Further and Simplify when something feels thin. A claim that falls apart when expanded is worth doubting.
• Rate the subtopic so the problem is recorded. Be aware of what that does and does not do: it is feedback to us, and it does not rewrite the section you just read.

Studying From Your Own Material Reduces the Problem

When you upload your own notes, slides or textbook, the explanations, questions and exams are built from that material rather than from whatever the model happens to know about the subject. It does not make errors impossible, but it keeps the content anchored to the source you will actually be examined on.

Is Using AI to Study Cheating?

Using it to understand something is studying. Handing its output in as your own work is a different thing, and where that line falls is set by your school, university or employer rather than by us. Nothing here writes an essay for you to submit: it explains, questions, tests and grades you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Supervision & Parental Tools

Stay connected to a learner's progress without hovering. The Supervision feature gives parents, guardians, and educators visibility into real learning data.

What Supervisors Can See

• Topics created — What subjects the learner is studying.
• Quiz scores — Performance on each quiz attempt.
• Progress metrics — How far the learner has advanced through each topic's sub-topics.
• Mastery levels — Aggregate understanding across topics.

How to Grant Supervisor Access

Supervisor access is controlled by the learner (or their parent/guardian for younger users). To add a supervisor, navigate to your account settings and invite them by email. They'll receive access to view your learning data — but they cannot modify your topics, take quizzes on your behalf, or access your account credentials.

Revoking Access

Supervisor access can be revoked at any time from the same settings screen. Once revoked, the supervisor immediately loses access to all learning data.

Studying Across Languages

The language your material is written in and the language you are taught in are set separately. You can upload English slides and study them in Arabic, or the reverse, and the quizzes, exams and audio follow the language you chose to learn in. This page explains how the settings relate and which language to actually pick.

Three Separate Languages, Not One

It helps to see them as three independent settings rather than one language switch:

• Your source material — whatever language your notes, slides or textbook happen to be in. You do not change this.
• The language you are taught in — chosen when you create the topic. Explanations, quizzes and exams are produced in this language.
• The interface language — the buttons and menus. Independent of both, and changeable at any time in your profile.

Which Language Should You Actually Study In?

The useful rule is to understand in your strongest language and be examined in the language of the exam. If your course material is in English but you think in Arabic, studying the explanations in Arabic will usually get you to real understanding faster — but if the exam will be in English, you still need the English terms to be automatic. The two are not in conflict, because the material stays in its original language while the explanation adapts to you.

Audio Follows the Material, Not the Menus

A podcast episode and a read-aloud section are produced in the language the topic's content is in — not the language your buttons are in. So if you want an episode in your own language from English slides, the thing to set is the topic's content language when you create it. Getting that one setting right is what decides the language of everything generated afterwards.

Arabic Specifically

Arabic is fully supported rather than partially: the layout mirrors to right-to-left, and Arabic sections and podcast episodes are recorded with Arabic voices rather than an accented approximation. The written explanations and the spoken audio both use Modern Standard Arabic, the register used in textbooks and formal teaching, rather than a regional dialect.

Courses & Learning Paths

Topics are your building blocks. Courses are the architecture. Group your topics into a structured learning path and let AI suggest the optimal study order.

What is a Course?

A course is a named collection of your topics, arranged in a specific learning order. It gives you:

• A structured sequence — Topics are ordered from foundation to mastery, so you always know what to study next.
• A unified progress view — A single progress bar shows how far you've come across all the topics in the course combined.
• A course-level exam — Test yourself across all topics at once with a single AI-powered exam that spans the entire course.

Creating a Course

Ordering Topics in a Course

The sequence in which you study topics matters. Learning Clarity gives you two ways to set the order:

Taking a Course Exam

Once you have a course, you can take a single exam spanning all its topics at once — instead of running separate exams per topic.

Credit Cost

• Creating courses and reordering topics manually — Free. No credits consumed.
• AI Suggest Order — Costs a small number of credits (minimum 5) to run the AI curriculum analysis.
• Course Exam — Same credit model as a regular exam: credits are consumed once when the questions are generated and once when the AI grades your answers.

AI Course Creation

Describe what you want to learn and let AI plan, title, and structure your entire course automatically.

What AI Course Creation Does

When you tap "Create with AI", you get:

• A generated course title — The AI names the course to match your intent.
• A structured topic list — Typically 5–10 topics, ordered from foundational to advanced.
• Subtopics on demand — When you open any topic, the AI generates its subtopics at that moment.

How to Create an AI Course

Difficulty Levels

• Beginner — Foundational concepts in plain language. No prior knowledge needed.
• Intermediate — Builds on basic knowledge. Introduces more complex ideas and applications.
• Advanced — Deep coverage of nuanced techniques, edge cases, and professional-level material.

After Generation

Once your course is generated, you can:

• Reorder topics — Drag to rearrange, or use AI Suggest Order for an optimised sequence.
• Open a topic — The AI generates subtopics the first time you tap a topic.
• Add or remove topics — Manually add more topics or remove any you do not need.

Credit Cost

• Course generation — Credits are consumed once when the AI creates the course structure.
• Subtopics — When you first open a topic, generating its subtopics costs the same as creating a standard topic.
• Editing — Reordering, renaming, and deleting topics is always free.

Learning Plans

Organise multiple courses into a structured curriculum and track your full learning journey in one place.

What is a Learning Plan?

A Learning Plan is the highest level in your learning hierarchy:
Learning Plan → Courses → Topics → Sub-Topics

Think of a Learning Plan as a full curriculum or syllabus. For example, a "Full-Stack Web Development" plan might contain courses on HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Node.js, and Databases — each course building on the previous one.

Watch Tutorial

Adding Courses to a Plan

On the Plan Details page, tap the + Add Course button. A panel opens with two tabs:

• Create New — enter a title and description to create a brand-new course that is immediately assigned to this plan.
• Add Existing — pick from any of your standalone courses (courses not yet assigned to any plan).

Reordering Courses

Drag and drop courses using the ⠿ grip handle on the left side of each course row. The order is saved automatically when you release.

Removing Courses from a Plan

Tap the ✕ button on any course row to remove it. For bulk removal, tap Select in the header, check multiple courses, then confirm removal. Removed courses become standalone and are not deleted.

Tracking Progress

The progress bar on a plan reflects the combined completion of all sub-topics across every course in the plan. Progress updates in real time as you complete sub-topics.

• Plan-level progress = completed sub-topics ÷ total sub-topics in all courses.
• Each course inside the plan shows its own independent progress bar.

Plan Exam

Once your plan has courses with content, tap the Plan Exam button to launch a comprehensive exam that spans all courses in the plan. The exam setup lets you:

• Select or deselect individual sub-topics (grouped by course → topic).
• Choose question types, difficulty, and time limit.

Exam results are saved to your history and include an AI-generated performance summary with strong areas, weak areas, and recommended next steps.

Deleting a Learning Plan

Scroll to the bottom of the Plan Details page and tap Delete Plan. You will be asked to confirm. Your courses are not deleted — they become standalone courses and can be added to a new plan at any time.

What Your Certificate Proves, and Putting It on LinkedIn

A Learning Clarity certificate records that you sat a real assessment and passed it, and anyone can check that without an account. It is not an accredited qualification, and this page is honest about the difference — plus exactly which fields to fill in on LinkedIn and how to describe it on a CV.

What It Actually Attests To

This matters more than the design of the document. An exam certificate is issued only when all of the following are true, so the certificate is a compressed record of them:

• You scored 70% or higher on the exam.
• The exam had at least 30 questions, so it was not a three-question formality.
• Every subtopic in the topic was covered, so you could not pass by revising a favourite corner of the syllabus.
• You answered it — including written answers graded on what you actually wrote, not only multiple choice.

What It Is Not

It is not an accredited qualification, and we would rather say that plainly than let anyone imply otherwise. No university or professional body has validated it, it carries no credits toward a degree, and it is not a licence to practise anything. It is evidence that you sat an assessment on a defined body of material and passed it, and it is checkable — which is more than most completion badges offer, and less than a formal qualification.

How Anyone Can Check It

Each certificate carries a credential ID beginning with LC- and a verification link. Opening that link shows the certificate is genuine, who it was issued to and when — without signing in, creating an account, or contacting us. The verification page deliberately does not display your score: it confirms the credential is real, not how narrowly you passed.

Adding It to LinkedIn

There is no one-click button, but LinkedIn's Licenses & certifications section maps onto our certificate cleanly. Add an entry and fill it in like this:

• Issuing organisation — Learning Clarity.
• Issue date — the date shown on your certificate.
• Expiry date — leave it blank, and tick that the credential does not expire. Ours do not.
• Credential ID — the LC- code from the certificate.
• Credential URL — the verification link. This is the field that matters most, because it is what turns a claim into something a recruiter can check in one click.

Describing It on a CV

Describe it as what it is and it will do you credit. Name the topic, say it was assessed rather than merely completed, and include the verification link. Something like "Assessed on Pharmacology Fundamentals — Learning Clarity, passed at 30+ questions across the full syllabus" is accurate and specific. What you should not do is list it under formal qualifications or imply accreditation, because the first person who checks will find out, and the checking is easy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Streaks & Achievements

Stay motivated with daily streaks and unlock badges as you hit learning milestones. Every session counts toward your next reward.

Day Streak

Your Day Streak tracks how many consecutive days you've completed at least one learning activity on Learning Clarity. It is displayed on your dashboard and in your profile.

• Streak counter — Shows your current consecutive-day count (e.g., "12 days").
• Milestone indicators — As you approach a streak milestone, the counter shows how many more days you need to reach it (e.g., "12 more → 🌙"). Milestones unlock visual rewards and contribute to your achievement progress.
• Streak reset — If you miss a full calendar day without any activity, your streak resets to zero the following day.

Achievements

Achievements are badges you earn by reaching specific milestones across your learning journey. Your Achievements panel shows your overall badge progress (e.g., "11 / 16 achievements unlocked") and highlights what's coming next (e.g., "Next: Quiz Veteran").

Achievement Categories

• Learning milestones — Based on the number of subtopics studied, topics completed, or Explain Mode sessions.
• Quiz & Exam performance — Earned by achieving high scores, completing a set number of quizzes, or finishing an exam. Examples include badges like Quiz Veteran for repeated quiz engagement.
• Streak milestones — Unlocked at specific consecutive-day streaks.
• Community & sharing — Earned by sharing content or connecting with other learners.

Viewing Your Achievements

Open the Achievements panel from your dashboard or profile. Each badge shows its name, a brief description of the requirement, and whether it is locked, in progress, or earned. Tapping a locked badge shows exactly what you need to do to unlock it.

Examination History

Every exam you've taken is saved. Review past results, track score trends, and revisit the AI's feedback whenever you need it.

Accessing Examination History

Go to History in the navigation menu, then select the Exams tab. You can also navigate directly via /history?tab=exams.

The Exams tab lists all past exam attempts in reverse-chronological order. Each entry shows:

• The topic, course, or plan the exam was taken against
• The date and time of the attempt
• Your overall score as a percentage
• The number of questions answered
• The exam scope (which subtopics were included)

Reviewing a Past Exam

Tap any exam entry to open its full results page. You'll see:

• Score breakdown — Overall percentage plus per-question results showing your answer, the correct answer, and the AI's explanation.
• Strong & weak areas — Subtopics where you performed above or below your average.
• AI-generated recommendations — Specific next steps: which subtopics to revisit in Explain Mode, and where a targeted quiz would help most before your next exam attempt.

Exam History vs Quiz History

The Quizzes tab records per-subtopic quiz attempts. The Exams tab records full exam sessions. They are kept separate so you can track short-form practice and formal assessments independently.

Maths, Formulas and Problem Sets

Maths, physics and engineering topics work like any other, with one genuine caveat about audio that is worth knowing before you rely on it. This page covers what the explanations give you, why the spoken conversation is unusually good for maths, and why reading aloud is not.

What You Get

A maths topic becomes a roadmap of subtopics like anything else, and the explanations carry worked examples and visualisations rather than only prose. Quiz Mode and Exam Mode generate questions from the material, including written answers that are marked on what you actually wrote rather than on picking an option — which matters more in maths than almost anywhere, because the answer is rarely the point and the working always is.

The Spoken Conversation Is Unusually Good Here

This is not an accident of the model — the tutor is explicitly instructed to speak mathematics properly rather than read symbols. It says "a over b" rather than naming a slash, and "squared" rather than naming a caret. The result is that you can talk through a derivation out loud and be understood, and be asked which step you just skipped. Explaining a proof aloud is one of the fastest ways to find the line you have been taking on faith.

Read It Aloud Is the Wrong Tool for Equations

Be aware of this one. Read It Aloud speaks the text exactly as written and has no special handling for mathematical notation, so a symbol-heavy formula is read literally rather than interpreted. For an equation-dense section that is worse than useless. Read the maths on screen, and save listening for the surrounding explanation — the intuition, the why, the worked commentary — where it works perfectly well.

Working Through Problems

Upload your problem sets as part of the material and the questions generated will follow the kind of problem you are actually set, rather than generic textbook examples. Then use a timed exam to find out which topics collapse under time pressure, because in maths the gap between "I can do this" and "I can do this in forty minutes" is usually where marks are lost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Learning Feedback

After completing a subtopic, you can rate the explanation quality. Your rating takes five seconds and directly improves the experience for everyone.

The Feedback Dialog

When you tap Complete Subtopic at the end of an Explain Mode session, a feedback dialog appears automatically:

The dialog presents a 5-point emoji rating scale:

• 😞 — Very poor
• 😕 — Poor
• 😐 — OK
• 🙂 — Good
• 😁 — Excellent

What Your Feedback Affects

Feedback is aggregated anonymously and used by the Learning Clarity team to identify subtopics or content patterns where explanations consistently rate poorly. This data informs improvements to the AI system prompt and content generation logic — not the specific content of your personal subtopics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Read It Aloud

Explain Mode can read any section out loud. Press Listen and the text on screen is spoken to you — useful on a commute, while resting your eyes, or when hearing a sentence makes it land better than reading it. The first reading of a section uses credits; every replay after that is free.

Where to Find It

Open any topic in Explain Mode. Each section has a Listen button. Press it once, the audio is prepared, and it plays.

What It Costs

Preparing a section uses credits, and the button tells you so before you press it: "Uses credits the first time. Replays are free." Once a section has been prepared, the reading is kept, so listening to that same section again costs nothing.

Limits

• Very long sections — a section beyond the reader's length limit cannot be read aloud. Breaking the topic into smaller subtopics solves this.
• Nothing to read — a section made up only of an image or a diagram has no text to speak.
• One at a time — only one section is prepared at a time. Wait for the current one to finish before starting another.

Languages

A section is read in the language its content is written in. Arabic is read by an Arabic voice; other languages use the default voice.

Read It Aloud or a Podcast?

They are different things. Read It Aloud speaks the explanation exactly as written, word for word, with a single narrator. A podcast episode is a new conversation between a host and a guest, written about the same material — different words, two voices, and downloadable as a file.

Frequently Asked Questions

Podcast Episodes

Turn a topic — or a single subtopic — into an audio episode you can take anywhere. A host interviews an expert guest about your own material, in the language your content is written in. You choose roughly how long it should run, and the episode is produced in the background while you carry on learning.

Making an Episode

What It Costs

Generating an episode uses credits, and longer episodes cost more. Before you press Generate, the dialog shows an estimate for the length you picked. You are charged for what is actually used — not the estimate — and only once the episode has finished.

While It Is Being Made

An episode moves through four stages, and the dialog shows which one it is on:

• Queued — waiting to start.
• Writing the script — turning your material into an interview.
• Recording the voices — the longest stage, and the one that shows progress as parts are recorded.
• Putting the episode together — joining the parts into one recording.

There is no cancel button. By the time the panel appears the script has already been written and paid for, so stopping would waste the spend without saving you anything.

Listening

• Play, pause and scrub through the episode.
• Skip 15 seconds backwards or forwards.
• Playback speed from 0.75× to 2×.
• Download the episode as an MP3 file to keep.
• Keep listening while you work — the player docks at the edge of the screen, so the episode carries on playing as you move around the app.

Languages and Voices

An episode is made in the language your topic's content is written in, which is not always the language of the interface. Arabic episodes are recorded with Arabic voices. Other languages are read by voices optimised for English — they will read your language, but with an accent.

Making a New Version

Once an episode is ready, Generate again creates a replacement. You can pick a different length, and the new episode takes the place of the old one.

An episode stays available until you replace it or delete the topic or subtopic it was made from. There is no expiry date.

Frequently Asked Questions

Learning a Language: Speaking It, and Being Corrected

Make a language your topic and you get a tutor that speaks only that language, understands you whatever language you reply in, and corrects your mistakes as you go. Use the same tutor on any other subject and it will not correct your grammar — that is deliberate, and this page explains both halves.

It Will Not Switch Back, Even If You Do

The tutor answers only in the language your topic is set to. If you get stuck and say something in your own language, it understands you perfectly well and answers in the target language anyway. It does not mirror you, it does not drift into a second language halfway through, and if you ask it outright to switch it will say in one short sentence that this session is in that language and carry straight on. What you get is immersion that does not quietly collapse the first time it gets hard.

It Corrects You, When the Language Is the Subject

If your topic is the language itself — its grammar, its vocabulary, how it is actually used — then how you speak is part of the material, so mistakes get corrected rather than politely ignored.

• One correction at a time — the error that most changes your meaning, not every slip. Being corrected on everything is how people stop talking.
• You hear the right form, then the reason — it says the corrected sentence out loud and gives the rule behind it in a sentence, rather than delivering a lesson.
• Repeat mistakes get named as patterns — if the same error keeps coming back, it tells you what the underlying rule is, because a mistake you never hear named is one you keep making.
• Corrections come in the language you are learning, not in yours. That follows the same rule as everything else it says.

Setting It Up

Create a topic about the language and set the topic's content language to the language you are learning. That one setting is what decides everything afterwards — the explanations, the quizzes, the spoken conversation and any podcast episode. A topic called "Spanish: the past tenses" with its content language set to Spanish gives you a Spanish-speaking grammar tutor; the same topic left in English gives you a tutor explaining Spanish grammar in English, which is a different and sometimes useful thing.

On Any Other Subject, It Leaves Your Grammar Alone

This is the other half, and it is intentional. If you are talking about biology in your second language, it will not correct your grammar — it answers what you meant. Nobody studying photosynthesis wants their prepositions marked. So if you want correction, make the language the subject; if you want to practise a language while learning something else, you get the practice without the pedantry.

What This Is Not

It is not a language course. There is no beginner-to-fluent curriculum, no levels, no vocabulary scheduler and no scenario library of role-plays to work through. There is also no pronunciation score — it is listening to you, not marking you, and it will only mention how you said something when it made a word genuinely ambiguous. What it is: an open-ended conversation in the language, about whatever you decided the topic is, that corrects you and will not let you retreat into your own language.

Frequently Asked Questions

Talk About This

Have a real spoken conversation with your tutor about whatever you are studying. You ask out loud, it answers out loud, and you can make it go over the same point as many times as you need. A call runs for up to nine minutes, and you are charged for the time it actually lasts.

Starting a Conversation

On a topic page, press the talk button on a single subtopic to talk about just that section, or use the Talk tile to cover the whole topic. The conversation opens on its own screen. Press Start talking and allow your browser to use the microphone.

During the Call

• Speak or type — ask out loud, or type your question instead. Either way, the answer comes back spoken.
• Mute stops the tutor hearing you, but it does not pause the call or the charge.
• Up to nine minutes — the call ends automatically when it reaches its limit, and warns you as the end approaches.
• It is written down — the conversation appears as text while you talk, and you can download it as a PDF afterwards.

What It Costs

A minimum amount is taken from your balance when the call starts. When the call ends, whatever you did not use is refunded — so you pay for the time the call actually ran, not for the time it could have run.

Keeping the Conversation

Two different things can be saved, and they behave very differently:

• The written transcript — download it as a PDF once there is something to save. This is kept with the conversation.
• The audio recording — download it before you leave the screen. The recording is never stored anywhere, so once you navigate away it is gone for good.

One Conversation at a Time

You can only have one conversation open at once. If you start a new one while another is still open, you are asked to confirm first — the older conversation ends and everything said in it is deleted.

Languages

The tutor answers in the language your topic's content is written in, whichever language you speak to it in. On a very long topic it works from a shortened outline, so answers about later sections can be less detailed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Studying Out Loud: Explaining, Rehearsing and Being Questioned

You can hold a spoken conversation about the material you are studying — explain it in your own words, be asked follow-up questions, and find the parts you cannot actually explain. This page covers rehearsing an oral exam, why speaking catches gaps that re-reading hides, and how this differs from talking to a general assistant.

Why Saying It Out Loud Finds Gaps Reading Does Not

Re-reading feels productive because the words look familiar. Familiarity is not understanding. The moment you have to produce the explanation yourself — out loud, in real time, to something that will ask a follow-up — the vague parts become obvious, because you hear yourself go quiet.

How to Start One

• Open it from the material — start a conversation from a topic or a single subtopic, and the discussion is about that.
• Speak or type — you can talk, or type your side if you are somewhere you cannot speak. The answer comes back spoken either way.
• It already has your material — you do not paste anything in or re-explain the context first.
• A call runs up to nine minutes, and one conversation is open at a time.

Rehearsing an Oral Exam or Viva

The nine-minute limit is close to the length of a real viva section, which makes it a usable rehearsal unit rather than a constraint. Pick one subtopic, explain it unprompted, and let the follow-up questions come. Then start a fresh call on the next subtopic. Several short, focused calls rehearse better than one long ramble, because each one forces a clean start with no notes in front of you.

How This Differs From a General Voice Assistant

A general assistant will happily talk with you about a subject, and it is genuinely good at that. The difference is what it is talking about. Here the conversation is anchored to the topic you built — your uploaded notes, your slides, your roadmap — so the questions are about the material you will actually be examined on, not about the subject in general. You do not spend the first three minutes explaining your syllabus.

Listen, Then Prove You Understood

The pieces work as a loop. Have a section read aloud or turned into a podcast episode, then start a conversation about it and try to explain it back, then sit a quiz or an exam on the same material when you want a score rather than a discussion. Hearing it, saying it, and then being marked on it are three different kinds of contact with the same content.

The Conversation Is Written Down

What was said is recorded as a transcript you can read afterwards and download as a PDF. That is useful in a way the call itself is not: reading back what you actually said, rather than what you meant to say, is where the vague explanations show up in writing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Certificates

Pass a full exam, finish a course, or complete a learning plan and you earn a certificate carrying your name, the date, your result and a credential ID. Anyone can check it is genuine through its verification link, without signing in. Certificates are free and never expire.

The Three Certificates

Earning One From an Exam

An exam certificate has three conditions, and all three have to be met by the same exam:

• 70% or higher — your score on the exam.
• At least 30 questions — shorter exams do not qualify.
• Full coverage — the exam has to cover every subtopic in the topic, not a selection of them.

Where to Find Yours

A View Certificate button appears on your exam results, on the course page, and on the learning plan page.

What Is On It

• Your name, as it appears on your profile.
• What you completed — the topic, course or learning plan.
• The date it was issued.
• The final result — your score and the number of questions for an exam certificate, or Completed for a course or plan.
• A credential ID beginning with LC-.
• A QR code that opens the verification page.

Downloading It

Preview opens the certificate so you can look at it. Download PDF opens the same view ready to print — use your browser's print dialog and choose Save as PDF to keep a copy.

Proving It Is Genuine

Every certificate carries a verification link, and the QR code on it points to that link. Anyone can open it without an account and without signing in.

They are shown whether the certificate is valid, what it was awarded for, who it was awarded to, the date it was issued, and the verification ID. Your score is not shown on the verification page — that stays on the certificate itself.

After It Is Issued

Certificates are permanent. They are never deleted and stay verifiable indefinitely.
