WORKFLOW

A clear three-step process

01

Choose one focused PDF

Upload a readable document about one topic. Split a long document when you only need one chapter or section.
02

Review the generated note

Check headings, names, formulas, quotations, and technical terms against the original document.
03

Prepare for recall

Edit the note structure and add missing context. Then create the study tool that supports your next task.
PRACTICAL GUIDE

Which PDFs make useful study notes?

✓
Use a PDF with selectable or clearly scanned text. Poor scans can reduce extraction accuracy.
✓
Process one chapter or topic at a time. A focused source makes the note easier to check.
✓
Review tables, diagrams, equations, and footnotes in the original PDF. Text extraction can lose their structure.
✓
Upload only documents that you have permission to process. Protect private and restricted material.
