Alternatively, you can try out the web demo here.

If you are technically minded, you can customise the bookmarklet to extract images by adding the following parameter:

&images=true

Article highlights and summaries

Drag the Article Highlights and Summary buttons below to your browser bookmarks bar.

As with the Flashcard bookmarklet, when you have an open-access article open in your browser, click the Article Highlights bookmarklet and the key points will be displayed in a new tab.

Or click the Summary bookmarklet to get a longer, bullet point summary.

Automatic reference extraction and parsing
