Using Perusall (Highlighting) Suggestions
Sometimes, the
features for highlighting the Perusall text can be difficult to use, especially
when using a mobile device. Here are some suggestions for using the tools.
· It’s easier
to highlight a section of the Perusall text if you start at the end
of the section and move backward to the beginning (versus trying to start at
the beginning and highlight forward). Otherwise, it will tend to try to
highlight all of the text on the page.
· The
speed at which you move your cursor when highlighting text also affects
things. If you press and hold for a brief moment before moving your
cursor, it will be a more precise highlight.
· In iOS
in particular, when you highlight a passage and want to add a comment, you
need to click “Add Comment” twice to get to the comment window. The first click
will get you out of the automatic iOS menu for selected text, and the second
click will actually open the comment window in Perusallan. See the
image below for the example of the iOS menu.
