StudyCog Web Capture — StudyCog

StudyCog Web Capture sends content from the page you are reading straight into your StudyCog library.

Two ways to capture:

Capture screenshot - drag a rectangle over any part of the page (or place the box with the arrow keys if you prefer not to drag). The area is saved as a screenshot in StudyCog and the text in it is recognised automatically.

Capture text - highlight text on the page first, then capture it. The text is saved as a text capture in your StudyCog library with the page address and title attached. Text captures from the same page are grouped together.

A message on the page confirms each capture the moment it saves, and after your first capture a small quick-capture control stays on that page so repeat captures do not need the toolbar. Dismiss it any time.

Keyboard shortcuts: press Alt+Shift+S to start a screenshot capture and Alt+Shift+T to capture your highlighted text (Option+Shift+S and Option+Shift+T on Mac) - no popup needed. Remap them under Add-ons and themes, then the gear menu, then Manage Extension Shortcuts; the popup always shows the current keys.

Everything lands in the Captures area of your StudyCog library, linked back to the original page.

Built for accessibility: the popup mirrors your StudyCog colour scheme (including custom colours), every control works from the keyboard including the capture shortcuts, the area picker has a no-drag alternative, and capture confirmations are announced to screen readers and respect reduced motion.

Getting started:

1. Sign in to StudyCog and open Account, then Security
2. Generate your extension token and copy it
3. Click the StudyCog icon in your toolbar and paste the token once

You need a StudyCog account. Captures are always started by you - the extension never reads a page or sends anything on its own.
