ABSTRACT
The Active Reading Application (ARA) brings the familiar experience of writing on paper to the tablet. The application augments paper-based practices with audio, the ability to review annotations, and sharing. It is designed to make it easier to review, annotate, and comment on documents by individuals and groups. ARA incorporates several patented technologies and draws on several years of research and experimentation.

Skim reading: an adaptive strategy for reading on the web
WebSci '14: Proceedings of the 2014 ACM conference on Web scienceIt has been suggested that readers spend a great deal of time skim reading on the Web and that if readers skim read they reduce their comprehension of what they have read. There have been a number of studies exploring skim reading, but relatively little ...
Skim-reading Strategies in Sighted and Visually-Impaired Individuals: A Comparative Study
PETRA '18: Proceedings of the 11th PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive Environments ConferenceAs the amount of readily available reading material increases, the ability to read selectively, or to skim-read, is becoming an important skill. In this paper, we report a comparative study of existing skim-reading strategies in sighted and visually ...
Do Highlights Affect Comprehension?: Lessons from a User Study
CHIIR '17: Proceedings of the 2017 Conference on Conference Human Information Interaction and RetrievalA largely unquestioned assumption in social reading is that publicly shared annotations improve reading outcomes. In this study, we explore the specific assumption that relevant and irrelevant passive highlighting affects comprehension. Participants ...
