Questions teachers ask
Do students need devices?
No. Oly runs on one screen: a projector, a TV or an interactive display. Teams answer out loud, and you mark answers on the screen or from your phone.
What can I make questions from?
A photo of a textbook page, a list of words, or just a topic like “animals” or “weather”. Oly picks the words, finds a picture for each, and writes example sentences. You can edit everything before you play.
Do you keep my textbook photos?
No. Oly doesn’t keep your photo; it is sent to our AI provider only to read the words. Games you make are private to you.
Does it work on a touch screen?
Yes. Students can come up and tap answers, tiles and pictures. Your phone can still be the remote, so you can see the answer before the class does.
Does it work for other subjects?
Yes. Pick Math, Science, History, Reading or any other subject, then snap a page, type a topic or paste your own questions. Oly writes multiple choice, true or false and open questions in your class’s language. 21 games work with any subject; 6 are made for English practice.
Which languages does the app speak?
For English lessons the game screen is always in English, because that is what your students are learning. For other subjects it follows your class’s language: English, Vietnamese, Spanish, Portuguese, Turkish, Indonesian, Ukrainian or Japanese. The teacher side is in the same eight languages.
