SuperMemo user Alesso has a great solution demonstrated here but I find typing out equations still too time-consuming. I couldn’t figure out how to copy and paste equations into SuperMemo easily and elegantly. As far as I know, SuperMemo’s HTML content window doesn’t support MathJax. Then, there’s no way you can quickly import it into SuperMemo. First, using TTS would (probably) have the opposite effect: distracting you rather than anchoring your focus. Then there’s pretty much nothing you can do. ![]() If you don’t need TTS, you can simply put the PDF and SuperMemo side-by-side like this:įor example, if your PDF is heavy in symbols and equations: The benefit of this solution is that doesn’t require any pre-processing. I would love to hear from you if you have better solutions. I’m aware that this AHK script is not the most elegant, having to switch back and forth between four programs, but this is what I have and use. I refer back to the PDF for symbols and equations. For any important part, I copy it from Balabolka, paste it into the dummy Article and extract it. I have this AHK script to copy the genuine text, remove the line breaks in Word, and paste it to Balabolka for me to start reading and listening. When this dummy Article comes up in the Outstanding Queue, you can open the source PDF, snap the PDF on the left and have Balabolka ( for TTS) on the right like this: Instead of having copied content in SuperMemo, for each chapter, you may create a dummy Article with nothing in it. With such materials, there is another way to go about incorporating PDF for Incremental Reading. When you find something important, you find the exact match in SuperMemo for extracting. In other words, you use the PDF to read, not the copied content in SuperMemo. The copied content in SuperMemo is mainly for extracting important parts AFTER you’ve studied from the PDF. Extract Content From a Genuine PDF” to deal with it. Light in Symbols and Equationsįor example, this example is not heavy in symbols and equations, relatively speaking. During Incremental Reading, read from the PDF and only copy important parts into SuperMemo for extracting. ![]() The backbone should be the original PDF, not your copied content in SuperMemo. For both types, you should reference back to the original PDF for accuracy. The stakes are high: studying the wrong equations or resulting in unnecessary confusion. ![]() The biggest problems with symbols and equation is that, you can’t copy them to Word (or straight into SuperMemo for that matter) they won’t display properly. Your PDF might be light or heavy in symbols and equations. There are some caveats for materials that are heavy in symbols and equations, so I’ve created this separate article. This article assumes your PDF belongs to type 3 (genuine and copyable content). You may consider this part II from How I Deal with PDFs.
