Inkive: Book Highlight Scanner
No Manual Selection Needed
Free · In-App Purchases
Capture the words you marked in a physical book—without manually selecting them.
Inkive uses an on-device AI model to recognize the text corresponding to your underlines, highlighter marks, and circled passages. Take a photo of the page,
and Inkive automatically turns your natural reading marks into searchable notes.
No manual text selection. No manual cropping. No cloud upload.
KEEP READING THE WAY YOU DO
When you mark a sentence in a book, you should not have to recreate that action on your phone. Inkive preserves your natural reading flow and removes the
extra step of drawing a selection box around the text.
