Frequently asked questions
Does this use AI to summarise my notes?
No. It is purely rule-based formatting: it trims whitespace, removes duplicate blank lines, strips stray bullet characters, capitalises the first letter of each point and re-lays the text out in the structure you choose. Your wording is never rewritten or invented.
What is the Cornell layout?
Cornell notes split the page into a narrow cue column for questions and keywords, a wide notes column for the detail, and a summary strip at the bottom. The tool builds that layout from your points so you can print it and fill in the cue column as you review.
Can it turn a paragraph into bullets?
Yes. Choose sentence mode and each sentence becomes its own bullet point, which is a fast way to convert a block of typed-up lecture prose into scannable revision notes.
