FOR WEB PDF NOT SUPPORTING

Teresa campos prieto

I give this extension the highest rating because, since I started using it, I have saved a lot of time. It allows me to create keyword dictionaries that help me speed up my document readings and minimize information loss. I find it very useful for public procurement as it reduces the risk of not detecting key tenders for the business. I also believe that it can be useful for any task that requires extracting key information in a high-volume data scenario.

Long story short: Amazing. As a curation scientist, I highly recommend it to everyone who works with large amounts of data. As a community builder, I would say: This makes it easier to detect our students' redundant typo-s. As a researcher: Your bookmark gonna look like Mendeley, Grammarly, Readlayer soon. PDF highlight is the coolest feature without a doubt. No additional comment on that ;). The support team is fantastic. contradictory: It definitely deserves a better logo.
