Have you used the article summarizer Scholarcy https://www.scholarcy.com/? What was your experience with it? Can you tell me how accurate the summarized information is?
It is an application with the slogan "read less, learn more". This slogan is completely against the nature of the academy. I think it's good for lazy students to prepare homework, that's all. And maybe the app could be useful for non-academic uses, such as summarizing the news feed.
I am interested to know how accurate the summarized information provided by Scholarcy is. I was thinking more of an application in science dissemination to the general public, not academic purpouses.
Hi there, I'm Phil, the founder and developer of Scholarcy.
Summarisation is one component of our technology, but it does much more than this. Our unique flashcard format highlights key information, including how a study builds on prior work.
In terms of science dissemination, we have a separate tool that creates journalist-style synopses of research papers.
Hi, I recently signed up for Scholarcy, and unfortunately it's disappointing. The application highlights irrelevant details such as footnotes, titles, date, publisher as "highlights" which gives me no benefit. Some important keypoints were also left out. In the end, I'm forced to return to reading the entire work myself instead of relying on this platform to summarize important key points. Not worth the money.
It's a great idea, but improvements can be made to benefit users.
