I would use a simple velcro to stick my iPhone behind my laptop screen, search for "velcro iphone laptop" to get ideas.

I’m working on exactly that: InstaRoom, an iOS and Mac app to do this; you can check out the landing page and leave your email for early access https://instaroom.me

They have a recording functionality that generates interactive videos (as a person watching, you can still move the presenter around and jump to specific slides and images). So they might offer online hosting for your productions, à la YouT

Very nice. Testing on my iPhone 6s landscape, I noticed the prev and next buttons were not aligned with the book page. I also created a similar tool a few weeks ago available for free as well here https://www.appblit.com/boo

but if the teacher is fully shown, or perhaps the upper body (in Japanese culture, people like to see the upper body during webcam sessions, not just the head), then it would still convey authority and confidence while watching the video? A

Detecting where tables are is still an active research areas. Once we know where on the page, it’s easier to parse out their structure.

Or maybe use a text corpus to infer likely next words between 2 lines of characters so we can infer the reading order and columns using the text.

That’s the approach I’m using to reformat “reflow” PDFs for mobile in my app https://readerview.app/

PDFs of research papers are what I often read on mobile, and I find it hard. Check out the app I published if you have an iOS device: it’ll reformat your pdf so the content reflows to fit your screen. https://www.appblit.com&#x2F

Yes but converting a pdf to ePub is not easy (to make the ePub reflow the text at least). What I’m working on could output as ePub.

And on desktop you’re fine dealing with PDFs in the browser? Just posted a video demo of what a pdf could look like once reflowed as HTML (look at the HTML version after second 10) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSRFcLovat

thank you. I never considered it would be useful on desktops too. I guess we now have expectations about how web pages behave in a browser, and what we can do with them; but when the browser loads a PDF, all that is gone, or not working the

It’s a good concept but limited posts for now. I wonder why we don’t write a twitter search engine that automatically finds these kinds of job postings and aggregates them by location and company.

What is or was your platform? Wouldn’t giving free access to the app be a reward?

No, pdf.js displays PDF documents in the browser, but not as responsive HTML (it actually renders pages into a CANVAS element and then adds text selection by overlaying DIV elements over this canvas) My app converts the PDF to a truly respo

I have another app based on the same tech but that keeps all formatting. It’s called Pdf Reflow on the App Store. But I gather from the community that a pure HTML converter would be greatly appreciated, even if some characters are lost in t
