The Austi Classics Shakes app is a reader for Shakespeare's works that are in the syllabus.
You can conveniently you can conveniently read your text on an app on your phone, so when you're on the bus, or between classes, you have the material right there in your phone. You don't need to carry a book around, and you can make your own bookmarks, so you can click on a line and type your own bookmark for yourself to remind you. You can then go back to your bookmarks specifically. You can list all the bookmarks you've written and references to those important acts, scenes and lines of the play, that you've been studying, so you can read your bookmarks and use that for revision before exams.
You can also share bookmarks with friends, and read shared bookmarks created by other students.
It also allows standard questions to Chat GPT that will give a response you can copy-and-paste as a bookmark. And you can also type up your own question to chatgpt. So rather than having open slather in chatgpt, where you've got to give the context, etc, you specify your age, gender, your school year, and anything Chat GPT needs to know about you in general, as in, are you new to Shakespeare? For example, are you experienced in reading literature? Are you a high scoring student or a low scoring student?
So the app will remember all of these details about you, and then you can type whatever question you have, and the app will know to send it to ChatGPT in the content, context of the particular text that you're reading at the time.
And there are also a lot of standard questions so you don't have to type out all those standard questions like: What are the main themes of this act? Or, what are the main themes of this scene? What is the role of this scene in the play? How does this character develop? All of these typical questions are pre canned as well.
So, at a click, you can ask, ask it so Chat GPT gets the response and save it as a bookmark, or you can just read it, email the response to yourself, whatever you need to do. So it's a fully featured single source of truth for reading and studying Shakespeare plays.
The app is ready for you to download and start using now.
