Pro’s:
Here’s what we like about SciSpace:
- Easy to use Chrome extension: Pretty easy to use extension that allows you to save and ask questions against scientific material.
- Decent job with analyses: Not as world-class as some of the competitors that are out there, although does a great job of summarizing key points into something very simple.
- Understands math and tables in PDF files: If you’re scanning a PDF file on Chrome, it can still understand what’s inside.
Con’s:
