Move from the overview into the source
A flashcard presents key concepts, highlights, a structured summary and important points, with navigation into relevant sections. Extracted figures, tables and the original text provide routes beyond the condensed account.
Scholarcy is designed around research articles and individual book chapters. It needs accessible text; a paywalled paper has to be obtained and imported before it can be summarized.
Change the summary’s level and focus
Enhanced summaries offer reading styles ranging from an accessible overview to a researcher-level account, or a focus on chosen topics. Import settings can control summary length, section structure and extracted figures.
This lets the same source serve an initial scan and a more focused reading pass. The rewritten synopsis and enhanced modes use English even when some original-language sections are retained.
