The getAbstract app just got a little friendlier:
* We revamped our onboarding portal for new users. A three-step process makes it easy to indicate your preferences – so that our content suggestions match your interests.
* The audio play & playlist buttons on the summary pages also got a little makeover.
* We know you’d rather listen to a human than a robot. Since our audio summary collection has grown a lot, we got rid of the TTS function in our app.
* Since you may be interested to know if a summary also exists in a different language, we will now indicate so at the bottom of the summary page.
