Questions
What students ask about Lectra.
What is Lectra?
Lectra Notes is the App Store app from Scope. It imports and organizes documents, receives course PDFs from the Scope Chrome extension, lets you annotate them with Apple Pencil, and can use private on-device intelligence for supported study aids.
How do PDFs get from Scope to Lectra?
Scope sends documents to Lectra through DropBridge v3, which uses realtime receiver wakeups, delivery receipts, and automatic download handling, with a polling fallback when realtime delivery is unavailable.
Do I need Scope to use Lectra?
No. Lectra Notes can import and organize documents on its own. Scope adds the connected browser workflow for sending course PDFs to Lectra and bringing finished PDFs back into supported upload flows.
Does Lectra keep my notes tied to the original course file?
Yes. Delivery state, receipts, and document metadata stay attached to the original course file from the Scope handoff, so your annotations and finished exports stay in context.
Can finished Lectra PDFs return to browser uploads?
Yes. Scope 10.1 added an Attach from Lectra picker for supported browser upload flows, starting with Gradescope's upload modal, so annotated PDFs can come back without digging through downloads.
Is Lectra available now?
Yes. Lectra Notes is available now on the Apple App Store as a free download for iPhone and iPad.
Bring your readings to your iPad.
Scope finds your coursework in seconds. Lectra gives your readings a calm place to live — then hands the finished file back.
