“Simply reading and re-reading the material isn't an effective way to understand and learn. Actively and critically engaging with the content can save you time.”

FindMe encourages active reading by finding the text you need
Active reading techniques are proven to enhance comprehension and critical thinking. Little wonder that they are encouraged by schools and universities alike. But those of us with reading difficulties can become stuck at the very first stage of active reading – ‘previewing’ or ‘scanning’ the material to gather its main points – particularly when faced with long documents or an unfamiliar subject. When a reader feels overwhelmed by too much information, they tend to revert to ineffective ‘skim’ reading which is the very opposite of the engaged, active approach that works.
Enhance your reading and learning experience, making comprehensive research effortless and more engaging. Transform the way you gather knowledge and accelerate your learning.
“Active reading is reading with the aim of understanding and grasping meaning.”

Find Me, leads you straight to the most relevant information when you’re scanning so you can focus on what matters. It uses 4 key features to enable users to interact and identify information instantly.
Identify key Information Instantly
Case sensitivity in web browser searches is essential for ensuring precision and accuracy, particularly in technical or academic contexts where case differences are significant. It enables more accurate search results by distinguishing between proper nouns and common words, thereby facilitating efficient information retrieval - streamlining the research process.
Case Sensitivity
Word sensitivity in web browser searches offers refined outcomes for targeted results: searching for partial words like 'prove' can yield broader results such as 'improve', while whole-word-only searches focus on the exact term, enhancing search specificity and relevance.
Word Sensitivity
Colour-coding search terms on the web is vital for clarity and organisation, especially when searching up to four phrases or words simultaneously. Different colours for each term visually segregate them within text, making it easier to identify and compare their occurrences and contexts, which is particularly beneficial in complex academic or research documents.
Colour Code Terms
The visor view feature in web browsers, which highlights the line containing the search term while dimming surrounding text, is invaluable in dense, text-heavy research environments. It quickly directs focus to relevant information by visually isolating the search results, enhancing readability and efficiency in locating key data within extensive documents.
Focused View
Make connections
Unlike existing search tools that only contain once field, FindMe can search for up to 4 different words or phrases at the same time. Whether you want to search for 4 names and place, or 4 concepts. FindMe helps you to quickly make connections and test out your ideas, both key elements in the later stages of active reading that encourage critical thinking.
