Scholarcy
Scholarcy is an AI-powered summarizer tool ideal for heavy readers of texts from across the Interwebs.
One of its key audiences are researchers who are having a hard time keeping up with the latest research. For them, going through millions of new research articles published each year could be a nightmare. That is not the case with Scholarcy, which can summarize all that text with ease — saving hundreds of hours along the way.
The tool will go beyond paraphrasing abstracts and is also capable of extracting the key facts, figures and more in seconds. It does that by creating a summary flashcard of any article, report or document in Word or PDF format. Moreover, Scholarcy also includes links to open-access versions of cited sources and can be configured to extract figures, tables and images.
What makes it even better is Scholarcy’s browser extension that will let you summarize the world wide web. So, whenever you find an interesting article online, you can summarize it with a single click without leaving your browsers.
In that sense, beyond different researchers, Scholarcy could also be an indispensable tool for journalists, students, and librarians, among others.
