About Scholarcy
Scholarcy is a research summarization tool that automatically breaks a long document down into a structured set of summary flashcards. Given a research paper, report, book chapter, or even a video, it identifies and extracts the key points: the background and aim, the methods, the main findings and figures, the limitations, and the most important claims, and presents them as a scannable card with the significant sentences highlighted by what it calls a Robo-Highlighter. It also pulls out and links the references, builds a bibliography, and can find open-access versions of cited works, which speeds up following a citation trail. Scholarcy supports many file formats and importing from a URL or reference manager, and it stores processed papers in a personal library with full-text search and the ability to export summaries in various formats. The tool is aimed at researchers, students, and analysts who need to get through a large volume of reading and want a consistent structured digest of each source rather than reading everything end to end. Scholarcy is made by a UK company. It offers a free browser extension for basic summarization, with paid subscriptions that add the library, longer documents, more export options, and higher usage limits.
