# AI Tools for Survey

> AI Tools for Survey (https://www.aitoolsforsurvey.com) converts questionnaire
> documents (Word/DOCX, PDF, Excel, TXT, Markdown) into LimeSurvey LSS files and
> Qualtrics QSF files. The LSS export targets LimeSurvey 6.x — answer text is
> written through the native answers + answer_l10ns localization structure, and
> multiple-choice options are stored as subquestions the way LimeSurvey expects.
> A legacy LSS export path supports older LimeSurvey versions. The QSF export
> mirrors native Qualtrics export structure (SurveyEntry fields, Survey Blocks,
> Survey Flow, Trash block, STAT element) and passes Qualtrics import
> validation. Conversion is free to use online and includes a reviewable schema
> step before export, plus machine-readable warnings for degraded features.

Key facts:
- Input formats: Word (.doc/.docx), PDF, Excel (.xls/.xlsx), TXT, Markdown
- Output formats: LimeSurvey .lss (LimeSurvey 6 default, legacy path available), Qualtrics .qsf (beta)
- LSS export detail: multiple-choice options are emitted as LimeSurvey subquestions; answer codes are sanitized to LimeSurvey's 5-character column limit to avoid import errors
- QSF export detail: files follow the same element layout as native Qualtrics exports and are validated against Qualtrics ESDEF10 import checks
- Every Deep Parse conversion produces a reviewable question schema before the final file is generated
