ABOUT ME
I'm Damir, an independent creator from Europe who loves to read. Say hello at damir.stuhec@gmail.com
The only thing I miss is a web version to make it cross platform and a notion as a export option
Genialt til at tage noter til bøger
Toke Riis Ebbesen
This little app demonstrates how wonderful and simple an iPhone can assist in reading and annotating printed books. It uses barcode/isbn to recognize the book, then the camera to select and ocr text passages from the book, which you can then tag and annotate. Finally export to text, markdown or pdf and save to your favorite app or cloud drive.
