Welcome

After years of working alongside students as Assistive Technology Trainers, we were all too aware that collecting and organising research for assignments and exams can be a stressful and daunting challenge, particularly for students with additional needs. The same reoccurring issues were apparent: students would struggle to get started with an assignment, often had too many internet tabs open, would lose track of where their research had come from and would be saving their work across multiple Word documents. Pro-Study evolved from a realisation that there was no other, easy to use software available to students to eliminate all of these issues.

Being in the unique position of working closely with students, and being able to use student focus groups, we developed Pro-Study with the needs of students and researchers within our core values. To enable students to reach their full potential, we listened to their challenges and created a product that would enable them to collect and organise their research in an accessible and easy to use format, whilst also promoting inclusion.

Pro-Study has been designed to simplify your assignment research process by allowing you to effortlessly collect and organise your research and other important information such as text, graphs, charts and images in a dedicated colour coded centralised database that is easily accessible. Simply create a project, break it up into colour coded categories, and begin adding your research and other important information from multiple sources using our super easy one click save system. You can capture information from multiple sources including websites, journals and textbooks and then store it all in the programme's dedicated centralised database. Each piece of information that is captured will automatically produce a hyperlink back to the original source as well as automatically capturing the reference information. You can use the camera on your  webcam or the Mobile App to capture information from textbooks and use the camera again to scan the barcode to automatically capture the reference information. If online text cannot be selected Pro-Study has a powerful OCR feature that makes inaccessible text accessible, a very useful tool when accessing online books etc. You can also drag and drop whole computer files into your Pro-Study categories within your projects. Finally, you can Export your chosen projects into a Word Document, your favourite mind mapping software or the Cloud. The exported document will be a full report containing all of your research and references as well as a Contents Page, Titles and Headers and Footers.  The nature of the many simple but innovative features, along with additional accessibility tools, allows you to personalise and order your work in a way best suited for you to effectively manage your projects. Pro-Study is the leading software for providing support throughout the whole research process, from gathering research into specific colour coded topics to exporting finished projects into full MS Word reports with the referencing completed.   With Pro-Study you also have access to the reference information for over 27 million+ books and you can reference in over 9500+ different styles.
