- Students studying from lecture-slide PDFs
- Worth noticing
- The interface offers three explanation levels and keeps the PDF on the Mac rather than uploading it.
Field notes
The demonstrated workflow combines a lecture PDF with slide-aware narration, rather than treating the document as a continuous text stream. Controls expose slide, paragraph, and playback movement, and the sample material includes a 62-slide probability deck alongside subjects such as algorithms and organic chemistry. The homepage says processing remains on the Mac and presents Windows support as an email-notification item rather than an available build.
