Guide to using the Highlight on a web article

Watch Live Demo of Highlight (on web articles) feature here.

What is the Highlight Feature?



Highlighting a web article is an intriguing feature integrated into Maika Extension's Context Menu. To keep it concise, we'll refer to it as 'Highlight' throughout this article.
This feature works much like highlighting a paragraph with a marker. The key difference is that Highlight operates directly on web articles, allowing you to mark text quickly and directly even when you can't edit the article. Plus, only you can see the text you've highlighted.

The highlighted text is then saved in Maika AI's cloud storage, making it effortlessly accessible for reviewing and managing. When you revisit the URL of the article, your marked positions remain intact until you decide to remove them.

What benefits does the Highlight feature bring?



Highlight is an extremely valuable tool for individuals working in the online environment, especially content creators, researchers, and online learners who deal with information synthesis and filtering.

Maika Extension's Highlight feature can be considered a technological take on note-taking, thanks to its notable advantages:
Mark and emphasize important information directly on the page without needing additional tabs or software for manual note-taking.
All your insights and noteworthy excerpts are gathered in one place - Maika AI's cloud storage - eliminating the need to search through various note-taking apps or rack your brain to remember the names of saved note files.
Both the excerpts and their associated URLs are saved, facilitating easy source citation when needed, especially beneficial for research topics.
Notes on Highlight: This feature allows you to add your own comments and notes to the highlighted text, customizing your annotations for better recall.
