    Troubleshooting

    Upload Failed

    Possible causes:

    • File too large
    • Unsupported format
    • Connection interrupted

    Solutions:

    • Check file size limits
    • Convert to supported format
    • Check internet connection

    Slow Processing

    Large files take longer. Files over 24MB (audio/video) are compressed automatically.

    Text Not Extracted

    For PDFs:

    • Ensure text is selectable
    • Scanned documents may need OCR
    • Try converting to DOCX first

    Tips for Success

    • Remove unnecessary pages
    • Crop to relevant sections
    • Compress very large files

    Naming Files

    • Use descriptive names
    • Include subject/topic
    • Add date if relevant

    Batch Processing

    Upload multiple related files to create comprehensive summaries or question sets from combined content.
