What is Side Reader?
Side Reader provides a platform for users to interact effectively with their PDF documents. It facilitates reading and analysis through features such as a split-screen view, allowing users to view different parts of a document or related materials side-by-side. The tool also includes standard PDF functionalities like zooming for detailed examination and the ability to copy text directly from the document.
Additionally, Side Reader maintains a history of uploaded documents for easy access. A 'capture and ask' feature, available in the Pro version, suggests capabilities beyond simple viewing, enabling users to extract information or query the document content. The service operates on a freemium model, offering basic features for free with certain limitations, while a Pro plan provides expanded capabilities and dedicated customer support.
