How do I import highlights from Scribd?
Scribd doesn't currently offer a native option to export highlights, but here's a workaround that allows you to export highlights from a single book at a time to import into Readwise.
Requirements: Google Chrome
1. Go to Scribd > open the book that you'd like to get export highlights from
2.Select the kebab icon/3 vertical dots in the right-hand corner > Notes & Bookmarks:
3. With the pop-up open > select View > Developer > Developer Tools:
4. Select Console from the developer view and input the following script next to the '>' symbol > Press Enter:
var annotations = document.querySelector('.annotations'); var notesParagraphs = Array.from(annotations.querySelectorAll('p')); var notesText = notesParagraphs.map((paragraph) => `<p>${paragraph.innerHTML}</p>`).join('');var win = window.open("", "Title", "toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=780,height=200,top="+(screen.height-400)+",left="+(screen.width-840)); win.document.body.innerHTML = `<div>${notesText}</div>`;
5. A new window will open with all the highlights in the book and you can copy/paste the highlights to import them into Readwise with any of the following tools:
