Import a paper
Turn a pile of PDFs into papers with clean details, searchable full text and pages ready to cite.
Read the transcript
Every review starts with a pile of PDFs: a downloads folder, email attachments, and files named final, final two. When you import a paper, CurTask reads it once and turns it into something you can work with: clean details, searchable full text, and every page ready to be cited. On Home, choose Import papers.
Drop files in, or pick them from your computer. PDFs, Word files and plain text all work, and scanned papers are read with OCR, in English or Bahasa Melayu. Pick a paper, and CurTask starts reading it straight away.
You can follow its progress in the processing queue while you keep working. When it is ready, the paper sits in your Global Library with its details filled in, ready for any project. Import once, and use it everywhere.
That is CurTask.
