So reading research papers is a great way to find information, but the problem is, well
0:07
that research papers are really hard to understand. So I'm going to show you a great service called Copilot made by SciSpace that is going to
0:15
make that reading comprehension of difficult text a lot easier. But before I do, feel free to subscribe to my YouTube channel where each week I'll be
0:24
uploading new video on a variety of different topics. So let's get started
0:30
The website is typeset.io. The name of the service is SciSpace and the name of the assistant is known as Copilot
0:39
As you can see on the screen, it's going to help you understand any type of text
0:45
Now it's primarily aimed at sharing research and scientific literature, but I'm going to
0:50
show you how you can upload your own PDF document of text
0:54
It's a completely free service right now. So let's go ahead and get started by clicking the signup button
0:59
So now that I am signed in, the first thing you can do is to go on SciSpace
1:04
There are over 270 million research papers. So if you're looking for a particular topic, let me just go ahead and type education technology
1:16
Let's see what comes up. Okay. So we have some different options right over here
1:19
I'll just take this one. You'll notice that over to the side, it's going to give me a few different takeaways
1:27
So let's try this one. What are the key takeaways of this article
1:31
There we go. So it goes through and it will break down and give me just an overall summary
1:39
How about this next part? I'm going to choose this prompt, describe the main approaches discussed
1:44
And again, it's automatically providing me with the main approaches. So this is great because it gives you so much more than just the section of the abstract
1:53
in the actual article. The other thing that's nice is that if you read something that doesn't quite make sense
1:58
I'm just going to highlight this first sentence right over here. Okay
2:03
What I highlighted shows up in yellow and underneath it went through and it deconstructed
2:08
and helped to provide additional information to make it more clear what this is saying
2:14
So this is something that's really important as you get into some very detailed medical
2:19
and scientific research. So research papers are only a part of SciSpace
2:25
What you can also do is upload any text and it will go through and you'll have the access
2:29
to have the copilot help you out, help you understand what you're trying to read
2:34
So let me show you an example. I'm going to go up to the top and select the button that will allow me to upload a PDF
2:42
And I'm going to upload this file on Sweden. Here it is
2:46
I'm going to go ahead and open that. And this is just an article that I found on NewZella, but still, even with my own text
2:53
I can ask it the same questions. What are the key takeaways? Right over here, any of the other prompts that are available at the bottom
3:02
This one says what's unique about this paper. But what I really like about it again is that I can go in, I can highlight just the section
3:12
and it will go through and help me out, give me a better understanding
3:16
Now, the other nice thing is that you can ask follow-up questions. So I am going to ask it, where is the Arctic Circle
3:31
So in this side area, this copilot area, it really does provide you with a great resource
3:37
for understanding text. If you'd like to sign up, you can sign up for free at typeset.io
3:43
Once you get started, you can search from over 270 million research papers, as well
3:49
as upload your own content. If you're writing a research paper, this is definitely something that you'll want to check out
3:57
