Frequently asked questions

UpTheMind is an AI learning platform built primarily for students with dyslexia. It helps you learn from textbooks using voice interaction, AI explanations and adaptive flashcards — you upload a PDF, select the parts that matter, listen to them instead of reading, and turn them into flashcards with one click. UpTheMind is developed by Celaeno Industry s.r.o. and available at upthemind.io.

UpTheMind is designed for anyone who learns better by listening, speaking and associating instead of reading long texts: students with dyslexia or ADHD, language learners, university students with heavy reading loads, and busy professionals.

No. UpTheMind was inspired by dyslexia — its founder has it — but it works for everyone. If reading long texts is slow, tiring or simply not how you remember best, UpTheMind gives you an audio-first, conversation-based way to study.

UpTheMind was created by Josef Boudnik, a helicopter pilot with dyslexia and dysgraphia. While studying for his commercial pilot theory, hours of reading and text-heavy tests didn't work for him — so he built a tool that lets you study by listening, speaking and making associations instead. What started as a personal solution became a platform for everyone who learns differently.

UpTheMind is operated by Celaeno Industry s.r.o., a company based in the Czech Republic (EU). It was founded by Josef Boudnik, a pilot and software developer with dyslexia.

You upload a PDF — a textbook, notes or scripts — and select the parts you need. UpTheMind reads your selection aloud with AI voices, answers your questions by voice or text, and turns selected text into flashcards with one click. Spaced repetition then helps you remember what you learned.

Any PDF: textbooks, lecture notes, scripts or your own documents. You choose what to study — select a paragraph, a page or a whole chapter and work with just that part.

Select any text in your material and click once — AI turns it into flashcards for you. The cards then go into a spaced-repetition system that schedules reviews at the right time and adds example sentences so you don't just memorize blindly.

Yes. Whenever something is unclear, you can ask the AI tutor by voice or text and get an instant explanation based on what you're studying.

The app and AI work in English, Czech, Spanish and German. UpTheMind is also great for learning foreign-language vocabulary with example sentences and a daily study plan.
