Interface Overview:
MRM Reader
The new enhanced reader allows users to read, highlight, annotate PDFs and keep all their notes across multiple documents in one place.
project goals
Managing notes across multiple PDFs whilst doing research can be challenging. Students and researchers often find their notes scattered and disorganised, making it difficult to connect ideas from different sources.
Our reader solves this problem by providing a single, organised workspace.
Users can easily add notes and highlights to documents, with everything stored in one place. This makes it simpler to link ideas between sources and keep track of research materials, ultimately saving time and improving productivity.
