Active before passive
Generate Learn cards and attempt recall before pressing play. Passive listening without prior encoding is entertainment, not study.
Structure beats length
Short teacher-style sections beat hour-long monotone reads. Summify scripts target exam-friendly length with reflection questions at the end.
