PDF Viewer

The PDF Viewer in ReviZa is a powerful tool designed to enhance your study experience. More than just a viewer, it integrates intelligent features to make accessing and interacting with course materials seamless, insightful, and collaborative.

Key Features​

1. Gemini AI Integration​

    • Provides summaries, highlights key sections, and answers questions about the material.
    • Assists with clarifying difficult concepts or locating specific topics within the document.
  • On-Demand Help: Simply type your query or use voice input to interact with Gemini directly while reading.

2. Voting System for Quality Assurance​

  • Rate Materials: Users can upvote or downvote the document based on its quality, relevance, and usefulness.
  • Transparent Ratings:
    • Each document displays its current rating percentage, making it easy to identify high-quality materials.

Reports are reviewed to maintain a database of only reliable and high-quality resources.

4. Algorithm for Automatic Moderation​
