Crowdskimmer – First Round Winner, Spring 2011

March 30, 2011 by Brandon Muramatsu

Students often face the daunting and time-consuming task of reading articles among articles. Oftentimes, it’s more efficient and effective to skim it first. Skimming texts is an art that takes time to hone. Some people have trouble learning how to skim because they don’t know what and where the keywords and sentences are.

CrowdSkimmer is a Google Chrome Extension that allows users to quickly skim websites and articles by showing them the keywords and key sentences.
