My project is an Android app for "mobile-only" students in emerging markets.

Many students in emerging markets, even at the university level, don't own a laptop or desktop computer. Their phone is the only compute they have. However, many textbooks and educational resources are only in PDF and formatted for the big screen. These mobile-only students are constantly zooming and scrolling to read these documents, which is a big hassle.

My Android app enables these students to download PDFs and the app will extract the text content into markdown, which the students can read more easily on a small screen.
