Summary
ChanScan was created to fill in the knowledge gap that researchers had when reviewing content on imageboards or other platforms like Reddit, Twitter, etc. As the language used on the internet evolves overtime, many readers don't know what certain words mean and they aren't defined in traditional dictionaries. ChanScan highlights those words for you, defines them, provides context, and shows you other real world examples for you to review.
