Frequently asked questions
How does the AI summarizer work?
CramDesk extracts selectable text from an uploaded PDF and generates a structured overview. Very long documents may be shortened before analysis.
What is included in a summary?
The document workspace includes a structured overview, key ideas, and a simpler explanation. The level of detail depends on the source document.
Can I summarize scanned pages?
The PDF must contain selectable text. Image-only scans may not be readable because this workflow does not reliably extract text from images.
Are the summaries always accurate?
No. AI-generated summaries can miss nuance or contain mistakes. Keep the original PDF nearby and verify important facts, examples, and figures.
Ready for a clearer view?
Start with a summary, study with a plan.
