Which materials you can use
- PDF: handouts and books, even scanned. Limit per generation: 5 pages on Free, 40 on Plus, 80 on Pro.
- Word and PowerPoint: the text of documents and slides, with speaker notes.
- Photos: notebook or board pages, also from your phone with a QR code.
- Text and links: pasted notes, web pages and, on the Pro plan, YouTube videos with captions.
How to do it
- Open Create and choose the format: set, flashcards or quiz.
- Drag your files into the window or choose “From phone”.
- For PDFs, select the pages you need: fewer pages, fewer credits.
- Press Generate: you see the cost first and credits come back if something fails.
For better results
- Upload one chapter at a time: a set per topic is easier to review than a huge one.
- Photos straight and evenly lit: if the text reads well to the eye, it reads well for Vesta.
- Add a line of instructions (for example “focus on dates”): the AI follows them.
