Frequently Asked Questions about Timeline Maker
Common questions and answers about this tool
What types of text work best with Timeline Maker?
Timeline Maker works best with chronological text containing specific dates and events. Historical articles, biographies, project documentation, and scientific papers with discovery dates are ideal. The more structured and date-rich your text, the better the results.
How accurate is the AI event extraction?
Our AI is highly accurate for well-formatted text with clear dates and events. It recognizes various date formats and can identify approximate dates. However, you should always review the extracted events and make adjustments as needed for complex or ambiguous text.
Can I edit the timeline after it's created?
Currently, you can customize the display options, choose different styles, and export the timeline in various formats. For editing individual events, we recommend making changes to your source text and re-processing it with Timeline Maker.
What's the maximum amount of text I can process?
Timeline Maker can handle substantial amounts of text, but for best performance and accuracy, we recommend texts between 500-5000 words. Longer texts may take more time to process and could result in too many events to display effectively.
How do I export my timeline?
You can export your timeline as a text file or copy it to your clipboard for pasting into documents, presentations, or other applications. Future updates will include PDF and image export options.
Does Timeline Maker work with non-English text?
Timeline Maker is optimized for English text and date formats. While it may work with some other languages, accuracy may vary depending on the language structure and date format conventions.
