Stempad Announces New Features in Winter Release

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Stempad, the world's first true pen-and-paper alternative for fast scientific writing, today unveiled new features of its winter release. These features support the academic body of students, teachers, and researchers in STEM fields who seek an everyday solution for scientific communication.

In June, Stempad joined Y Combinator's Summer 2024 batch. Since then, founder and CEO Ralph Rouhana has led company's go-to-market strategy, delivering a tool that enables users to take notes, write research papers, visualize data, and collaborate in real-time—all in one place.

New Features Drive Productivity

Stempad's latest updates showcase its potential for scientific writing:

• Live Collaboration: Work with classmates, colleagues, or research teams in real time. The platform's robust collaboration tools include live multi-user editing, inline commenting, and version tracking, ensuring seamless teamwork and efficient workflows.
• Spreadsheet Block: Incorporate and edit spreadsheets directly within scientific documents. This new feature allows users to embed, analyze, and visualize data tables without switching between multiple tools, streamlining experimental data organization and presentation.
• Optical Character Recognition: Extract text from pictures and images taken on phone or other sources. This allows users to take photos of blackboards from classes and paste the photos into Stempad, getting the text without needing to type the words out.

A Vision for the Future

"Stempad was born out of necessity, and the growth we've seen reflects the gap we're addressing in the market," said Ralph Rouhana, founder and CEO of Stempad. "The new features of this release further our mission; to create a space for scientists, educators, and students to think, create, and innovate with less friction than ever before. The future of scientific communication is faster, more collaborative, and more intuitive—and Stempad is leading the way."
