Review your notes by typing them

Copying by hand makes things stick; typing does too, and it leaves a measure. Open the PDF, type a part, and the page is done, with your pace and your slips.

How it is done

1

Open the PDF

Lecture notes, an exam syllabus, a paper. With formulas or tables, whatever cannot be typed is skipped.

2

One part per sitting

About 80 or 150 words. The clock pauses when you stop to think, so slow reading is not penalised.

3

Come back tomorrow

The “Continue” card takes you to the next page and reminds you what to watch.

Why type the material instead of just reading it

Reading is passive; typing forces you to process every sentence. It is active reading that needs no flashcards or summaries.

The book map shows which pages are done and which cost more: the syllabus stops being a uniform mass.

No account, no upload: the PDF and your progress live in your browser, with an exportable backup.

Typed on a desktop or a tablet with a physical keyboard.

Questions

What about scanned notes?

They need a text layer (OCR). If the PDF is a photo, there are no letters to type.

Does it count as studying?

It counts as active reading. Memorising still takes review; typing makes the first reading a real one.

How long per day?

A short part is about five minutes. The daily goal is one part; the rest is a bonus.
