The only reason why I would see benefit in being able to correct terms in the reader is to correct transcription errors which have been imported from YouTube or Spotify or wherever you get your transcriptions from. They tend to be not that accurate, and if those transcriptions are not accurate, errors will replicate into concise and extended summaries.

If this is not possible to be done, then whatever you do in the reader is then later on not replicated to the notebook where you have already done translations into concise or long summaries. I don't see too much of a benefit to be able to correct the reader directly.

The only other thing I can think of is that if there are errors in the reader as the reader's content is also considered by the chat AI going through all the cards (e.g. embedding models will vectorize wrong terms), it might happen that in some outputs using the generic chat AI you get wrong terms mixed with correct ones because they were not concistently corrected. But if this cannot be kept consistent between the reader and whatever output you have generated in concise or detailed summaries, I don't see a point to be able to correct the reader again.

In order to be able to easily correct things, we would need to have also a search and replace function, at least in the notebook or even in the reader if it's getting an editable interface. If transcription is wrong, the wrong terms are in general replicated to the notebook, and that's where you really want to correct them. If you have hundreds of instances of a wrong term, you need now to correct them and find them all manually.

Main reason for Editable reader is to correct (mostly) obvious errors in the transcription.

I think that the reader should have the bare minimum of editing available to it. By that I mean the ability to highlight text and to add comments. Maybe if you add a highlight and comment feature you could have the AI be able to read those as well and it can tell you that you what you thought was important.

The ability to link highlights and comments made in the reader to your notes would be interesting as well. That way you don't have to go digging for your previous thoughts.

I don't need the reader to be editable. But if you do it, I would create a window like: Are you sure you want to edit the source text? I would like to be able to easily copy the Reader with a simple copy icon and I would like to be able to select text and then add a comment that could appear in the notebook with a link back.

There source of the information in the reader should stay in the read only form as a robust reference. But I am desperate to have highlighting and commenting option in the reader. The solution may be the ability to copy-paste the reader content to the notebook for editing, highlighting, annotating, etc.

I think that adding an extra window with editable reader content (in addition to to read-only reader window, that could be called "original read only content") would do everybody.

Another thing i'd love would be to have editable full content also for pdf files (at the moment the read only reader doesn't even let us highlight text or select text to copy it elsewhere).
