Scan & Summarize Documents with AI

We are flooded with long documents, PDF reports, and endless web pages. Reading every line is impossible. GenAI uses high-precision OCR document scanning and intelligent web summarizers to condense thousands of words into bullet points in seconds.

Turn hours of reading into a 10-second summary

Instead of manually reading long legal terms, study sheets, or news articles, you can scan them. The app reads text from physical sheets using your camera, extracts text from screenshots, or parses web URLs directly. It then outputs a structured summary of key facts, lets you copy the extracted text, or allows you to chat with the document to ask specific questions about the content.

Step-by-Step: Scan & Summarize Documents with AI

  1. Point your camera at the document. Use the document scanner tab to capture a clear image of any printed page, book, or sheet.
  2. Extract text using high-speed OCR. The scanner reads the image and turns the visual text into fully editable digital text instantly.
  3. Generate a structured summary. Tap the 'Summarize' prompt to create bullet points highlighting key names, dates, and conclusions.
  4. Ask follow-up questions in chat. Ask the AI questions about the document directly, such as 'What are the payment terms?' or 'List the three main arguments'.
💡 Pro tip: Paste a news article URL into the summarizer to get the core facts in 3 bullet points, avoiding ad-cluttered websites and long intros.
