Skimcast: Automatic Document Summaries and Key Theme Highlighting
Skimcast is a free Chrome extension developed by Skimcast Holdings, LLC. It falls under the category of Browsers and is classified as an Add-ons & Tools subcategory.
Skimcast offers a convenient solution for those who don't have enough time to read lengthy documents or easily get bored. With Skimcast, users can generate document summaries that range from 1% to 99% of the original document length, allowing them to choose the level of detail they prefer. This feature is particularly useful when skimming through online course material or other documents that are behind subscriber walls.
In addition to document summaries, Skimcast automatically identifies and lists the key themes present in each document. By simply clicking on a theme, users can instantly see all instances where it appears in the document, making it easier to navigate and find relevant information.
To use Skimcast, simply click on the extension button while on the desired webpage, and a summary of the content will be generated. This extension provides a valuable tool for quickly grasping the main points of a document without having to read it in its entirety.
