PDF Summariser and Study Tool

What it does
A 60-page PDF is not a revision resource until you have done something with it. StudyMina turns your PDFs into a summary and into study material you can practise with, so you can move from reading to remembering faster.
From a single document you can get a summary, flashcards of key terms, a quiz and practice questions. Use the summary to get oriented, then the cards and quiz to test yourself.
