Automatic Highlight Grabbers

Whether as a strategy for studying or just as a way to get the most out of an engaging piece of text, highlighting is a tried and true method for capturing the best and most salient points, and AutoPick is a new piece of software that expands the capabilities of the standard highlighter. The app lets users scan either digital or physical documents and cherry pick just the selections that are highlighted, condensing text into its most important passages.

Pulling highlighted quotations from a digital document is relatively simple, but AutoPick also brings that functionality into the real world. Users can scan physical pages with their smartphone camera through the app, and it automatically recognizes what text is highlighted and pulls those words into a digital document.
