## What is BookNotes?

BookNotes turns physical book pages into a digital knowledge library — powered by AI.

SMART PAGE SCANNING
Capture any book page with your camera or upload from your gallery. AI automatically detects and extracts all text, including your highlighted, underlined, and circled annotations.

ANNOTATION DETECTION
BookNotes understands your reading style. It separately identifies:
  • Highlighted text (any color)
  • Underlined passages
  • Circled words
  • All handwritten or printed text

VOICE NOTES
No time to type? Just speak. Record a quick audio note and BookNotes transcribes it instantly. Perfect for thoughts you have while reading.

BOOK LIBRARY
Organize your notes by book. Create collections, add authors, and build your personal reading archive. Every extraction is searchable and editable.

VOCABULARY BUILDER
Tap any word to translate it or look it up in the dictionary — in any language. Save words to your personal vocabulary list and review them later.

EXPORT ANYWHERE
Export your notes and word lists as Word (.docx) or Markdown (.md) files. Share with classmates, colleagues, or import into your favourite note-taking app.

Perfect for:
  - Students taking notes from textbooks
  - Language learners building vocabulary from books
  - Researchers extracting quotes and passages
  - Readers who want to keep their annotations forever
