Search → read → translate.
One continuous workflow.
Institium is a focused workspace, not a search engine bolted onto a PDF viewer. Each step hands off cleanly into the next.
Discovery
4 research domains mapped across the full index, from Life Sciences to Health Sciences, so you always know where a result comes from.
Reader
A PDF-native reading flow. Columns, figures, and formulas stay aligned with the original layout — nothing gets reflowed or lost.
Translation
Translate any paper in place, without breaking the structure that makes a scientific document readable in the first place.
268M+ papers.
Four mapped domains.
Every result is scoped to a domain before you ever open it, so search stays precise even across a corpus this large.
Filter by PDF, date, category.
A live browse surface across the full index, ranked by the active sort — the same paper pages, PDF actions, saving, and translation flow throughout.
Saved work comes first.
Library records surface ahead of the general index, so your own collection is never buried under the corpus you're searching.
The full research index, browsable live
Browse the whole index ranked by the active sorting controls — the same paper pages, PDF actions, saving, and translation flow, scoped to one of four research domains.

In-Place Translation
Translate without breaking the document's original structure
Paid discovery. Professional research translation.
The full research workspace sits behind active access: search, paper pages, source intelligence, citation graphs, new scientific translations, PDF overlays, whole-document translation, usage credits, and team administration.
Characters are the meter.
Each active paid seat starts with a monthly character allowance. New translation work and costly research tools draw from that balance; cached translation reads do not spend new credits.
Provider details stay abstracted so billing reads as Institium credits, not infrastructure plumbing.
Translation access
Monthly or yearlyFor one researcher who needs reliable translation, reading, annotations, and graph workflow.
- New title and abstract translations from paper pages and search results
- PDF page translation overlay, saved overlay versions, and full PDF translation for print
- Multilingual search expansion, text translation surfaces, and annotations
- Personal usage analytics
Team license
Seat basedFor labs, departments, and research groups that want billing, seats, and governance in one place.
- Paid seats with personal monthly allowances and optional shared team credits
- Owner controls for billing, invoices, cancellation review, and ownership transfer
- Continuity safeguards for uninterrupted research access
- Admin operations without financial authority: invitations, member visibility, usage review
Top-ups stay simple and auditable.
Subscriptions unlock paid workflows. Credit packs add more capacity when a researcher or team burns through the monthly allowance.
Personal top-ups
An individual paid user can add another 1M characters from the billing center.
Team member packs
A team owner can add capacity for a specific seated researcher when their allowance is depleted.
Shared team pool
Owners can buy pooled capacity in million-character increments, scaled to paid seat count.

Details researchers ask before upgrading
No. Research discovery, result lists, paper pages, directories, citation context, and graphs require an active individual plan or team seat. Pricing, account entry, and billing surfaces remain public.
