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. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://scienze.co.uk/privacy
