Description

Minimalist design with powerful tools for reading, particularly academic documents:

• Select text and control-click for an option to ‘Ask AI’. Choose a command and you will get a reply from OpenAI’s GPT3. This requires you to have your own API Key, which Reader will guide you to get
• Select text and cmd-F to see only the sentences in the document with the selected text
• Selet text and ‘H’ for yellow highlight
• Select text and cmd-shift-h for grey highlight
• 'h' without selecting text to see all highlights
• Select text and ‘X’ to strikethrough with red line.
• ESC to go in and out of fullscreen
• Single page in regular view, two pages in full screen view
• Spacebar for page down (arrow keys can also be used)
• White background in full-screen view since documents are usually white and therefore provides a clean reading space without a harsh black border
• Integrated with the Author word processor to provide instant citations through simply copying and pasting text using the Visual-Meta method as shown in the last screenshot and as described at http://visual-meta.info
text to see all highlighted text
- ’n’ to see any Names in the document
• cmd-shift-c to copy as citation

• Integrated with Liquid to provide hundreds of commands in less than one second on any selected text

• If document has Visual-Meta from the Author word processor:
- cmd- to collapse the document into an outline if the document has headings

Thank you for looking at Reader. Please feel free to contact me with questions, suggestions and of course, bug reports at hello@augmentedtext.info

stark whiteness

maybe add an option to make the stark white pages a more cream colour or something

Developer Response ,

Hi, I'm afraid that is more complicated that it seems since these are of course PDF documents and if we start to colour the screen it quickly gets messy. You can of course change the warmth of your monitor in general, and yes, we'll keep looking at this, since we also want to be able to offer a Dark Mode which is very tricky since if we just invert the colours then any images becomes negative.

Does not consistently format PDFs

I love the potential of this app with its partner 'Author' app, but even with the manual, videos, and comments from the developers, cannot get many PDF articles (which have the DOI on the first page) to be 'auto' formatted to allow for the copy/paste feature to work. This makes it very difficult to meaningful use this app because it isn't working for all articles. It also lags far behind other PDF readers in its ability to annotate documents.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for your comment. We are working on making the Visual-Meta aspect more readily useful. We are also working on annotations for the next release of Reader.
