Summary

The Scrible service streamlines the research and writing process for students and teachers, but is generally useful to anyone researching anything on the internet.

The Scrible Toolbar extension allows you to save and work with articles in Scrible while browsing the web. Click the extension to launch our Toolbar on any webpage or PDF. This will save it to your Scrible account and open up a Toolbar with tools to highlight, comment, and more. If you revisit a page you've previously saved to your account with the Toolbar, the Toolbar will automatically launch and reload your annotations.

Historically, teachers and students have had to manage multiple tools through the research and writing workflow. Scrible consolidates those tools in one place, streamlining a student's process of curating, annotating, citing and writing. Our Toolbar lets you:

  • Save web pages, PDFs and database articles instantly
  • Highlight key facts and passages to refer to later
  • Annotate and add comments to capture first thoughts

Once pages are saved, in the Scrible Library users can:

  • Quickly browse and full text search through sources
  • Organize source information with categorical tags
  • Select sources to add to a bibliography

Excellent. It would be even better if it allows for automatically selecting the highlight color to yellow and saving the notation to library, for all websites. Now for each website, the first time I highlight, I will need to click saving, no ask again, and then changing the color from pink to yellow..

At first, the extension wasn't working for me and wasn't loading onto the website. However, it has worked well for me before.
