New features

🖼️ OCR can now speak out the words

Thanks to Patrick Hausammann for the suggestion. You can now enable the OCR to read out the text it extracts now. Such a great idea. Thank you, Patrick.

🪟 Highlight text and paragraphs across the web.

A much-requested feature is finally here. Highlight any paragraph or text on a website. Any colour you want. Super handy for studying and revision. Pdf support is coming next month. All highlights will stay on the page and will also be stored in yours notes app.

✍️ Filter and view controls

Speaking of the notes app. We have given them a little facelift, making them easier to look at and discover. You can now filter by group, and by the view. From card and table.

🗒️ Pdf & Google docs toolbar are separate.

As you might know, Google docs will be updating this year, so to get ready, we have broken up our PDF and Google docs toolbar. So when the change happens we will be ready.

🏛️ Column support for paragraphs

Thanks to Edward O' Connor, we have added column support for paragraphs, making it easier for text to be read when it is broken up.
