How does it work?
Our built-in search engine ranks every sentence in your document by how well it matches your question, then shows the best passages with their page numbers. No AI service is used.
Is my document sent anywhere?
No. The search runs entirely on your device.
Does it work with scanned PDFs?
Run OCR PDF first so the text can be read.
