Looking for some clarification on the Pathfinder Savant's Quick Identification ability.
The spell-like ability essentially says you "can use identify as a swift action (caster level equals your character level)."
Does that mean you can cast it as a swift action, but must still use 3 rounds to identify an item?
Or does it mean you can straight up identify an item as a swift action?
It's unclear, as it says "use" rather than "cast" identify as a swift action.

If it did say "cast", then the only savings would be reducing the casting time to a swift action instead of the usual standard action.
Since it does say "use", I interpret that to mean "cast and use". Thus, you do get the benefit of the identify spell that normally takes 3 rounds in one swift action.
