About
Understand difficult academic papers, don't just summarise them. Scienze turns any paper into swipeable cards and explains each paragraph in plainer language, one level at a time, until it clicks.
SWIPE TO SIMPLIFY
Swipe left on any card and that paragraph is explained in plainer language. Still not clear? Swipe again. Each swipe goes a level simpler, so you decide how far to go, and Scienze remembers how many passes each passage needed. Unlike a summary, you still follow the whole argument, just in words that work for you.
READING IN A SECOND LANGUAGE?
Academic writing is hard enough in your first language. Plainer explanations and instant definitions help you follow dense papers without stopping to translate every sentence.
BUILT FOR A PHONE SCREEN
• Papers split into focused cards: abstract, methods, figures, results
• No endless scrolling and no pinch-zooming
• Cards keep your place and show your progress through the paper
• Select any word or phrase for an instant, in-context definition
• Tap a figure reference and the chart opens beside the text, with its caption
ADD A PAPER ANY WAY YOU LIKE
• Upload a PDF
• Paste a URL
• Photograph printed pages from a book or journal, and Scienze extracts the text and builds the cards for you
MAKE IT YOURS
• Add your own notes to any card
• Bookmark the passages worth returning to
• Jump straight between sections
READ ANYWHERE
Saved papers and reading progress live on your device, so you can keep reading on the train, on a flight, or wherever the signal drops.
WHO IT'S FOR
Undergraduates, PhD students, early-career researchers, students reading in a second language, and anyone curious enough to open a scientific paper and honest enough to admit that some paragraphs need a second pass. Or a seventh.
