Reading & Ask

Explain a passage, check a claim or ask a short question.

Explain

Select a word or passage to get a short explanation. If the app exposes surrounding text, Tero can use it to explain the meaning in context. Drag the card to move it.

Select quorum in a paragraph about database replicas.

Check a claim

Select a factual claim and get a short check with web sources. Open the links to inspect the evidence and read any uncertainty in the answer.

The Moon is larger than Earth.

This is a source-backed check, not a guarantee that every claim has a definitive answer.

Ask

Open Tero with nothing selected, choose Ask and type your question. Press Enter to send it. The answer appears progressively; questions needing current information can use web search.

What does an all-day calendar event mean?

Refine your question

Use Refine or ⌘R to clarify your question before sending it. Check the revised wording, edit it if needed and send when ready.

Adjust a result

Use Adjust result in a reading card to ask for a change or clarification. Read or copy the updated answer. This step does not replace the original selection automatically.

Make this shorter and keep the dates.

Copy and open links

Copy with the button or ⌘C. Open a source link while keeping the card visible. Reading results can appear progressively; a replacement in a writing field waits for the full result.
