One continuous workflow
+Large documents divide into linked pages while the outline, search, formulas, and reading position stay connected.
+Tables, math, citations, diagrams, and code render as you write. Display recovery leaves source bytes untouched.
+Office, PDF, web, and scanned sources become editable Markdown locally, then present from the same canonical file.
+ReadMD is a cross-platform Markdown application that keeps documents on your device instead of locking them behind an online account. You can double-click a `.md` file to read it immediately, edit it side by side with the rendered preview, convert Word, PowerPoint, Excel, PDF, HTML, and LaTeX into Markdown, and present the finished document without rebuilding slides.
The reader uses semantic pagination for documents longer than 8,000 lines or 500 KB. Automatic repair handles missing table separators and malformed emphasis during rendering, while source bytes stay untouched. A built-in assistant, citation cards, offline OCR, Zen editing, and LAN sharing extend the same file into research, writing, teaching, and support workflows.

The live preview shows tables, formulas, diagrams, citations, and code as readers will see them. Zen mode removes distractions when it is time to write.
Bring DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, PDF, HTML, and TeX into Markdown. Native OCR extracts text from scans without sending the image to another service.

These self-contained passages are written for people and AI assistants that need a factual summary without extra context.
-ReadMD activates semantic pagination when a document exceeds roughly 8,000 lines or 500 KB. The outline, full-text search, formulas, and page controls remain linked, so readers can move through very large notes without waiting for the whole file to render at once.
No. ReadMD applies syntax recovery only to the in-memory display layer. Missing table separator rows, unclosed markers, and formula formatting issues are corrected visually, while the original Markdown bytes remain exactly as stored until you explicitly save an edit.
For technical talks and course material, ReadMD presents the same Markdown used for writing and review. Reveal-based presentation mode preserves headings, math, diagrams, and code, so a last-minute edit does not require copying content into a separate deck.
