How to use Card Cutter

03 — Check the read The analysis strip shows word count, estimated read time, weak-qualifier flags, and warns you if your highlighted portion is really just a power-tag.

04 — Export & save Copy as formatted rich text straight into Word or Docs, download as .html/.txt, print to PDF, or save the card to your local library for later.

A note on honesty: highlighting and cutting are tools of emphasis, not distortion. A cut card must never change what the author actually meant — read the full context before you cut, and never highlight your way into a claim the source doesn't support.
