Scholary - An AI Academic Platform

Research papers and academic content often take hours to process, translate, or summarize. Students and researchers needed a way to interact with complex documents faster without sacrificing accuracy. The challenge was to build a powerful AI tool that transforms static academic materials into interactive, understandable insights — all through a clean and intuitive web experience.

We built Scholary, an AI-powered academic platform designed to help students and researchers save time and enhance comprehension. The platform reads, summarizes, and translates academic documents using advanced AI and OCR integrations, all within an accessible, multilingual interface.

Key features:

Real-time summarization and translation with ChatGPT API

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) using Tesseract.js for scanned PDFs

Next.js front-end for high performance and SEO optimization

Node.js + MongoDB backend for secure and scalable data management

Clean UI and multilingual support (English, French, Turkish)

The interface was designed for focus and clarity. I built a modular design system emphasizing typography, contrast, and accessibility. Each action feels responsive, with micro-animations that guide the user smoothly through uploads, translations, and AI responses.

Scholary successfully delivers faster research workflows by combining AI with smart UX.
