Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you want to know about LectiGuide. If your question is not here, email us at hello@lectiguide.com.

Getting Started
What is LectiGuide? +
LectiGuide is a study system built specifically for healthcare students. You upload your course materials, lecture recordings, textbook chapters, and clinical guidelines, and LectiGuide generates a complete, organized study guide in minutes. Every answer comes from your actual course materials, not the internet.
Who is LectiGuide built for? +
LectiGuide was built for respiratory therapy students and has been expanded to support all allied health and nursing programs. If you are a healthcare student with a heavy course load, clinical responsibilities, and a full life outside of school, LectiGuide was built for you.
How do I get started? +
Create a free account at lectiguide.com. No credit card required. You get 3 free study guide generations to start. Upload your lecture recording, slide photos, or PDF notes, add your objectives, and generate. Your first study guide takes about 2 minutes to create.
Do I need to be tech-savvy to use LectiGuide? +
Not at all. If you can upload a photo and type your objectives, you can use LectiGuide. The interface was designed for students who are already overwhelmed. It should take seconds to figure out, not minutes.
Your Materials
What can I upload? +
You can upload audio recordings of lectures (MP3, M4A, WAV up to 200MB), slide photos taken on your phone, PDF notes and handouts, and textbook chapters as PDFs. You can also add clinical practice guideline URLs directly from AARC, NIH, and other clinical sources.
Does LectiGuide use the internet to answer my questions? +
No. LectiGuide only uses the materials you upload. Every answer in your study guide comes from your lecture, your notes, your textbook, or your clinical guidelines. Never from a random website. This is the most important thing that makes LectiGuide different from generic AI tools.
Can I upload my textbook? +
Yes. Upload the chapters your professor assigned as PDFs. LectiGuide will answer your objectives using the textbook alongside your lecture materials. This saves you from having to cross-reference multiple sources yourself.
Is my data private? +
Yes. Your uploaded materials and generated study guides are private to your account. We do not share, sell, or use your course materials for any purpose other than generating your study guides. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
Features
What is TriPrep? +
TriPrep is LectiGuide's adaptive practice feature. Three rounds of questions built from your study guide. Round 1 confirms what you know. Round 2 connects concepts across objectives. Round 3 mirrors your exam format with MCQ, SATA, Matrix, and Matching questions.
What is the Personal Tutor? +
The LectiGuide Tutor is an AI tutor that knows exactly what your professor taught. Ask it anything about your study guide and it answers from your course materials. It is available on every session you generate.
What is Clinical Thread? +
Clinical Thread searches across all your saved sessions to show you how a clinical concept was taught throughout your entire program. Search oxygen therapy and see how it appeared in semester 1, semester 3, and your clinical rotations. It builds connections your professors intended but never made explicit.
What is the Rotation Brief? +
The Rotation Brief generates a clinical reference document tailored to your specific rotation, built from everything your professors taught across all your sessions. Available for 10 rotation types including ICU, Emergency, Neonatal, Sleep Lab, and Pulmonary Rehab. Download as a PDF to carry into clinical.
Do my sessions expire? +
No. Every study guide you generate is saved permanently to your account. Your sessions from semester 1 are still there in semester 4. This is what makes Clinical Thread and Rotation Brief so powerful, they build on everything you have studied.
Does LectiGuide work offline? +
Yes. LectiGuide automatically caches your 15 most recent study guides to your device. If you lose internet connectivity your sessions remain fully readable. Open LectiGuide while connected before going somewhere without signal and your recent sessions will be available. Note that generating new study guides requires an internet connection.

Technical
What devices does LectiGuide work on? +

How long does generation take? +
Most study guides generate in 1 to 3 minutes depending on the amount of material uploaded. Audio transcription adds a minute or two for longer recordings. The processing screen keeps you updated as each step completes.
