## Frequently Asked Questions

### What historical figures work best?

Recognizable figures with clear, high-quality portraits work best - presidents, famous artists, scientists, and cultural icons. The more recognizable, the more impactful. Make sure you use public domain images.

### Is this appropriate for education?

Absolutely! Educators use talking portraits to engage students with history. Hearing a figure 'speak' their own words creates memorable learning experiences. Always maintain historical accuracy for educational use.

### Can I use any historical portrait?

Use portraits in the public domain - generally images of people who died over 70 years ago, or official government portraits. Many museum and archive images are available for this use.

### Should I use their actual words?

For education, using their documented words is powerful. For entertainment, imagined modern commentary can be hilarious. Just be clear about what's historical vs. creative interpretation.

### What about non-Western historical figures?

Absolutely! Create content featuring historical figures from any culture or region. This technology celebrates history from all backgrounds - explore your heritage.
