SearchifyX

SearchifyX, predecessor to Searchify, is a fast Quizlet, Quizizz, and Brainly webscraper with various accessibility features.

SearchifyX lets you easily query a question through different answer websites (similar to Socratic on mobile), and sort them based on how similar they are to your query. It also includes a screen OCR scanner, hotkeys, and other features.
