Field notes
The page accepts PDF, TXT, and Markdown files, as well as pasted text, and provides a sample text to try. Its PDF cleanup settings can remove headers, footers, page numbers, citation markers, and reference lists; cleanup can be adjusted and run again on a later import. Keyboard controls include sentence- and word-level movement, while a paragraph-end pause invites readers to note the key point.
