📖 paper-deep-reading-skill - Simplify Your Academic Research Process

💡 What this tool does

Reading academic papers takes time. This tool acts as an assistant to help you understand complex studies faster. It reads PDF files of research papers and creates concise, beginner-friendly notes. These notes are ready to use in Obsidian. You can focus on learning the knowledge instead of struggling with difficult language.

⚙️ System Requirements

Your computer must meet these basic needs to run the tool without issues:

• Windows 10 or Windows 11.
• At least 4GB of RAM.
• A working internet connection.
• Obsidian installed on your computer.

📥 Download and Installation

Follow these steps to set up the software:

1. Visit the releases page to find the latest version.
2. Download the file that ends in .exe for your Windows system.
3. Locate the file in your Downloads folder.
4. Double-click the file to start the installation.
5. Follow the green prompts on your screen to finish the setup.

🚀 How to use it

Once installed, open the application from your desktop. Drag and drop any PDF file of a paper into the main window. Click the process button. The tool will break down the paper into chapters, summaries, and key concepts. It creates a markdown file. You can simply copy this content or save it directly into your Obsidian vault folder. The structure uses standard headers and bullet points for easy reading.

🛠 Troubleshooting

If the program fails to start, restart your computer and try again. Ensure that your PDF file is not password-protected, as the tool cannot open secured documents. If text remains unclear, check your internet connection, as the tool uses language models to analyze the paper content.
