Paper Speed Reader

Problem

Reading a paper often gets stuck on the same questions: what problem is being solved, whether the method is reliable, and how far the conclusion can be generalized. Paper Speed Reader is for researchers and engineers who already have paper text and need to extract key information from the abstract, introduction, methods, and conclusion, not to parse PDFs or write literature reviews.

How It Works

It turns reading into a reviewable workflow:
- Intake and identification: infer the paper type, domain, and reading goal from the pasted content.
- Structural analysis: extract the research question, hypotheses, methods, and data.
- Key extraction: summarize the main findings, contributions, limitations, and future directions.
- Report output: present a structured summary, with optional plain-language explanations and reading suggestions.

It can also help compare multiple papers or draft lightweight literature notes, while staying anchored to the source text.

Boundaries and Notes

• The user must paste paper text; it cannot read PDF files directly.
• The output is a structured summary, not a substitute for close reading, especially for methodological details.
• Highly specialized content may require extra domain context.
• Good for judging relevance, making notes, and comparing papers; not for paper writing, full literature reviews, or plagiarism checking.
