How Recitare works
Add. Understand. Connect. Ask. Remember.
From a pile of reading to knowledge you can use.
Five steps, in the order you will meet them. Each one is shown as it looks in the app today.
01Add
Everything you’re learning, in one place.
An article or paper, your slides, your notes, a lecture on YouTube, a snapshot. Add it once. Recitare reads it, finds its ideas and adds them to your Recitare Brain while you get on with your day. Everything you add goes into a Space, so a course or a project stays together.
Add something you’re learning

PDF, Word, text, slides and images, or a YouTube link. 02Understand
Work through the original in the way that suits you.
Read it, or listen while every word lights up as it is spoken, in a choice of six voices. When a sentence is hard, have it explained without leaving the page. Figures and tables appear in place with an Explain button, or snip any part of the page and ask about it.

PII redactionWe propose a new simple network architecture, the Transformer, based solely on attention mechanisms, dispensing with recurrence and convolutions entirely.
Ask: What does the model lose, and gain, by dropping recurrence? [Page 1]

In plain EnglishThe authors dropped the two standard ways of reading a sentence piece by piece. Their model looks at all the words at once and works out which ones matter to each other.Real recorded voices and word-by-word highlighting, then a hard sentence in plain English. 03Connect
See where your ideas meet.
Recitare finds the ideas in everything you add, notices when two sources mean the same thing, and links what belongs together, across subjects. You learn. Recitare builds the connections. Each Space groups its ideas into Knowledge Areas so a whole course fits on one screen.
Psychology
Motivation
The wants or needs that direct behaviour toward a goal.
The same idea, in two subjects
Management
Motivation
Understanding what people need well enough to direct effort toward the organisation’s goals.
Every idea keeps the quotes it came from. 04Ask
Get answers from your own reading.
Everything you have added becomes something you can question. Answers come from your own sources and show you where, with page citations you can check. Ask about one paper, one Space, or your whole Recitare Brain.
How does motivation in Psychology relate to motivation in Management?
Your psychology reading describes motivation as the wants or needs that direct behaviour toward a goal. Your management text builds on the same idea: a manager’s job is to understand those needs well enough to direct effort toward the organisation’s goals.

Strengthen what matters.
Five minutes, five ideas from your own Recitare Brain. Answer in your own words and get a short note back, grounded in what your sources say. Or tell it back: write or say everything you remember about a subject from a blank page, and see which ideas came back and the passages for the ones that didn't, with no score. Study guides, flashcards and an audio overview turn a reading into revision material drawn from the source.

What is the difference between Planning and Top-Level Planning?
Planning is deciding in advance what to do. Top-level planning is the long-range kind done by senior management.
