What is an AI glossary generator?

An AI glossary generator builds a list of key terms with definitions, so you don't have to write one by hand. In Edform, you type a topic, paste a text, or upload a file or a photo of a page, and choose the grade and subject. You get a table with three columns (term, definition and example) and 5 to 20 subject-specific terms, depending on how much material you give. Add more terms, simplify the definitions, add examples or adapt them for younger or older students. Then edit the table, print it, download it as a Word file, or turn it into flashcards, a quiz or a word cloud.
