Technical Integration & API

Browser Extension

Scholarcy offers browser extensions that allow users to trigger summarization on any web page or online article, sending content directly to the Scholarcy pipeline without manual download.

Zotero Integration

Sync your existing Zotero library directly into Scholarcy to batch-convert references into Flashcard summaries. This is ideal for systematic literature reviews and article screening at scale.

Workflow: Zotero Library → Scholarcy Import → Flashcard Generation → Export to CSV/BibTeX
