Content Factory — Text to Quiz, Flashcards & Reports

Give it any text. Get back a report, quiz, flashcard deck, podcast script, slide outline, mind map, or data table — in one API call.

No OpenAI API key. No external service. The text engine runs inside the Actor container (extractive: sentence ranking, key terms, numeric facts), so the same input gives the same output. Zero per-token cost.

It reshapes your text; it does not rewrite, paraphrase, or change tone. Every question, answer, card, and bullet is taken from the text you send.

Use Cases

• EdTech platforms — Auto-generate quiz questions and flashcards from course material
• Content teams — Convert blog drafts into podcast scripts or slide decks
• E-learning — Create Q&A pairs and study materials from textbooks or docs
• Internal tools — Generate structured reports from meeting notes or research
• AI workflows — Plug into Apify pipelines for multi-step content transformation

Usage

Via Apify API

const run = await Apify.call('ntriqpro/content-factory', {
  toolName: 'qa_generate',
  input: { text: 'Your text here', language: 'en' }
});
  }
}

Tool Reference

language sets the labels the tool writes itself (question stems, headings, speaker names): en and ko. Any other value falls back to English labels; the row then shows "language": "en" and "requested_language" with the value you sent. Sentences taken from your text stay in the source language.

    }
  ]
}

6. Data Table

Extract the figures in the text (amounts, percentages, counts, negative values) into a table, one row per sentence, up to 200 rows; a longer input adds "truncated": true and "total_found". A text with no figures gets a key-term frequency table instead.

{

      "mentions": 1,
      "sentences_covered": 1
    },
    {
      "term": "adopting",
      "mentions": 1,
      "sentences_covered": 1
    }
  ],
  "count": 10
}

    }
  ],
  "count": 5
}

8. Podcast Script

Generate conversational podcast scripts.

{
  "toolName": "podcast_script",
  "input": {
    "text": "Artificial intelligence is changing...",
    "language": "en"  // optional, default: "en"
  }
}

Response:

{
  "tool": "podcast_script",
  "status": "ok",
  "engine": "ntriq-textkit@1",
  "language": "en",
  "source_title": "Artificial intelligence is transforming industries by automating repetitive t",
  "source_stats": {
    "characters": 362,
    "words": 44,
    "sentences": 3
  },
  "format": "conversational",

    },
    {
      "speaker": "Host",
      "line": "What is Artificial?"
    }
  ],
  "turns": 8,
  "estimated_duration_seconds": 34
}

9. TTS Generate (unavailable)

Text-to-speech is currently not available: the speech backend was retired. A tts_generate call returns one notice row and is not charged. Use podcast_script for a narration-ready script you can feed to any TTS service.

Response:

{
  "rowType": "notice",
  "noticeCode": "tts-unavailable",
  "error": "Text-to-speech is not available in this Actor: the speech backend it used was retired. No charge is made for this call. The eight text tools (qa_generate, re...",
  "tool": "tts_generate"
}

Pricing

Free plan: each run returns up to 25 results. Paid Apify plans receive the full result set.

Every text tool runs in-process and finishes in seconds. If a call cannot produce a result (text shorter than 40 characters, tts_generate, or a text from which nothing could be built — for example no quiz question because no subject repeats), the run writes one notice row (noticeCode: generation-failed, tts-unavailable or empty-result) and is not charged. A charged row always holds at least one item.

Tool	Price	Processing Time
mindmap	$0.08	seconds
report	$0.12	seconds
qa_generate	$0.15	seconds
quiz	$0.15	seconds
flashcards	$0.15	seconds
data_table	$0.15	seconds
podcast_script	$0.18	seconds
slide_deck	$0.20	seconds

Environment Variables

Backend endpoint is configured internally; no user-facing environment variables are required.
