Have you ever been paralyzed by an outrageous, overwhelming textbook reading?
We’ve all been there, sitting in shock as the teacher casually ruins your week with no signs of remorse. Fortunately, thanks to advancements in AI technology, resources have become available that will revolutionize the student experience. Mindgrasp’s AI tool is capable of breaking down these lengthy readings into a simple explanation of the key points. We’ll explain how to use it in the guide below!
Our software is capable of working with a variety of different file types, but in this demonstration, PDFs are most applicable.
Step 1.
Begin by finding or downloading the PDF of your textbook. Countless textbooks are available for free download online. This can be as simple as a quick google search of “{textbook name] free online PDF”. Alternatively, other sources such as Libgen, or Mobilism. As long as you are able to open it as a file it should work!
Step 2.
When viewing the textbook, use the table of contents or scroll bar to find the page numbers of the chapter the software will be writing a summary on. Jot down the page numbers and go to file and print on your PDF viewer. Here you will be entering in the custom page numbers. Title the document “{Textbook}Chapter{Chapter number} then make sure to select “Save as PDF”.
Step 3.
Once you have the PDF of the specific Chapter, open up Mindgrasp’s AI tool and create a free account. This will give you access to the software’s home screen and user interface. This interface opens options to work with a variety of file types, pasted text and links to either youtube videos, academic papers and online articles.
Step 4.
Lastly, hit “Upload Files” and let it load. From here, all that’s left to do is select whether you want a brief summary or detailed notes and hit generate! This will give you a clear study guide or a concise and clear summary of that stress-inducing textbook chapter.
