About

Keep the passages that stayed with you — just by taking a photo. Point your camera at the page and select the part you want. Ocren turns Japanese text, vertical or horizontal, into text and saves it to your bookshelf. No retyping. ■ Photograph a page, keep a passage • Take a photo of the page → select an area → the text is recognized automatically • Page numbers are read from the photo too • The recognized text is kept exactly as read. Whether to correct it is up to you • Add your own thoughts, the page number, and one of 7 color flags to each passage ■ Recognition stays on your device • All text recognition happens on your iPhone • Neither your photos nor the recognized text are ever sent to a server • Works without a connection, even in airplane mode ■ Your own bookshelf • Browse the books you've read on a shelf of covers • Add books easily by scanning the ISBN barcode or searching by title • Track your reading as Want to Read / Reading / Finished • Write notes for each book, and search the passages inside it ■ So you don't forget • "Today's Passage" brings back one of your saved passages at random • A daily reminder delivers a passage at the time you choose • Look back on books finished, passages saved, and your daily activity in charts ■ Share • Turn a favorite passage into a quote card image and share it • Recommend a book to other readers in the Recommend tab ■ Switch phones with peace of mind • Sign in with Apple or Google • Your books and passages are saved to your account and carry over to a new phone Available in Japanese and English. Don't let the moment a book moves you slip away. • This app shows ads.
