InScien

A local app on your Zotero library. Map what your papers cite, listen to them, and search and ask across them.

Map

Build a paper to read its reference list from the PDF and resolve it against OpenAlex, Crossref and Semantic Scholar. The map shows what your papers cite and which works they share.

Narrate

Turn a paper into an audiobook read in the author’s own sentences by a local voice. The player follows along in the PDF.

Search and Ask

Search passages across your papers, or ask a question and get an answer made of quotes from them, each linked to its page.

Local

Runs on your machine in your browser, with no account. Zotero is read, never changed.
