## What is BookFlat?

BookFlat turns printed books and documents into flat, clean, searchable files.

POINT, HOLD, DONE
• Detects page edges live and captures automatically once the image is steady
• Turn the page and it captures the next one — scan a whole chapter in one go
• Prefer control? Switch to manual and tap the shutter yourself

KNOWS A BOOK FROM A DOCUMENT
• Smart mode splits an open book into left and right pages, and keeps single sheets as one page
• Tilted shots are straightened automatically; fine-tune any corner by hand
• Five looks: Original, Enhance, B&W, Gray and Ink Saver

TEXT RECOGNITION
• Recognizes text on every page — English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Japanese
• Tables and forms are kept line by line; spreads read left page first, then right
• Copy all the text in one tap, and search your library by what’s on the page

EXPORT & SHARE
• Export PDF, page images or plain TXT
• Searchable PDFs let you select and find text in any PDF reader
• Four quality levels; share anywhere or save to Files

STAY ORGANIZED
• Books, Documents and Favorites
• Reorder, add or delete pages, rename documents
• Light and Dark appearance

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Capturing, cropping and text recognition all happen on your iPhone. No photos or text are uploaded. No accounts, no ads, no tracking.
