Open BookSnippet, point your camera at the spread, and shoot. Skewed angle, curled spine, dim lamp — the page gets straightened and cleaned up automatically.
On-device text recognition finds every word on the page. Tap the passage you want, exactly like marking a line in the margin.
Scan the barcode once and the title, author, and cover fill themselves in. Every snippet lands in the right book, in your library, forever.
The passages you meant to keep should not disappear into your camera roll.
Text recognition happens on your iPhone, so printed passages become selectable text in seconds.
Perspective correction and de-skewing straighten the page before recognition, even when the photo is taken at an angle.
Scan the barcode once and BookSnippet fills in the title, author, and cover so every snippet lands in the right place.
Turn any saved snippet into a clean quote card with the passage, book, and author ready to post or send.
“I remember it as if it were yesterday.”
Your saved passages can become quote cards in seconds, with the book and author included.
Post them to your feed or send them to a friend.
