Practical answers to the questions we get most. If yours isn’t here, email support@tesify.app — we reply within 2 working days.
1. How do I start my dissertation?
Create a free account, tell Tesify what your dissertation is about and it suggests a starting structure — introduction, literature review, methodology, findings. Rename, reorder or delete any chapter: the structure is yours.
2. Do I have to write the text myself?
Yes, and that’s the point. Tesify organises your chapters, suggests improvements to what you’ve already drafted and builds your references. Every sentence in your document is one you typed.
3. Which referencing style does it use?
Harvard by default, with hanging indents and an alphabetised reference list. If you’re studying law, it handles OSCOLA. Departments vary their house style, so always check your handbook — the final format is your call.
4. What does the originality check actually do?
It compares your text against published sources and shows you the matches, so you can fix a quotation you left unmarked or a citation you half-finished — before you submit. You run it; it’s for you, not for your supervisor.
5. Can I work in short sessions?
Yes. Your work saves as you go and reopens exactly where you left it, with your structure in view — designed for twenty minutes between a shift and a seminar.
6. How do I export it?
Export to PDF, Word or LaTeX with your formatting applied. Check the result against your department’s submission guidelines before you hand in.
7. Can I use it for an extended essay or a research project?
Yes. Anything organised into chapters or sections works the same way — an undergraduate dissertation, a taught master’s dissertation, an extended essay or a research project.
8. How much does it cost?
The free plan stays free — no card, no trial timer. There’s a paid plan; you’ll see it inside the app, never before you’ve written anything.
