- Intermediate (25-49%): Orange
- Beginner (0-24%): Red
Summary Card: High-level overview of the note (2-3 sentences capturing the main idea)

Tab 2: Reading
Full note content organized into readable pages.
What you see:
Paginated Content: Your note is split into digestible "pages" (similar to a book)—perfect for focused reading without overwhelming.
Navigation:

Spend 30 seconds reading the high-level overview. Does it sound familiar?
Look through the numbered badges. Can you explain each one?
Before Studying

Using the Reading Tab
First-Time Reading
Approach a new note this way:
Don't skip around—follow the logical flow AI created.
Don't just passively scan. Pause after each section and ask: "Do I understand this?"
Select text and mark it with a highlight. You'll review these later.
Annotations
The reading tab supports a rich annotation system to help you engage with the content:
How to access annotations and formatting:
- Long-press on text to select it
- A context menu appears with two types of options:
Formatting options (mark text visually):
- Highlight: Background color (Yellow, Blue, Green, Pink)
- Underline: Underlined text
- Strike: Strikethrough text
Annotation options (add deeper explanations):
- Typed Note: Add a written annotation linked to the selected text
- Handwritten Note: Draw diagrams or write by hand
- Voice Note: Record an audio explanation
All formatting and annotation options appear in the same context menu when you long-press text. Use different highlight colors to categorize information as you read: Yellow for general notes, green for must-remember concepts, blue for things you need to look up, and pink for areas to revisit before exams.
Navigation Tips
Swipe Navigation:
- Swipe left: Next page
- Swipe right: Previous page
- Works in both LTR and RTL languages (automatically mirrored)
Tap Navigation:
- Tap the left or right edges of the screen to move between pages
The page automatically scrolls to the top when you navigate to a new page, and a page indicator shows your current position.

Why Annotations Matter
According to the Feynman Technique, explaining something in your own words is the ultimate test of understanding.
Benefits:
- Forces you to process information deeply
- Reveals gaps you didn't know you had
- Creates personalized study materials contextually linked to content
- Adds examples relevant to you
- Builds confidence in your knowledge
After using flashcards and quizzes, add annotations in the Reading tab explaining concepts you struggled with. This turns weaknesses into strengths!
