About Annotator - Web & PDF Annotation
Your Digital Highlighter for the Web & PDFs
Turn reading into a conversation. Whether you’re a student, researcher, or just someone who loves to read online, Hypothesis lets you take notes directly on any webpage or PDF—just like you would in the margins of a physical book.
Why You’ll Love It:
Highlight & Save: Never lose a great idea. Highlight key sentences and save your thoughts directly on the page.
