BookNotes 是專為愛做筆記的讀者設計的讀書筆記工具。 拍下書頁,讓文字辨識幫你打字 打開相機對準書頁拍照,App 會直接在手機上辨識中文文字(完全離線運算,不需要網路),辨識完成後只要反白想留下的句子,就能一鍵存成筆記,不用自己一個字一個字打。 依書本整理,頁碼自動附上 每一則筆記都自動記錄你正在讀的書名與頁碼,之後想回頭找某本書某一頁寫了什麼,一目瞭然。 筆記可以互相連結 讀到後面呼應前面某個觀點?把兩則筆記連結在一起,慢慢累積出屬於自己的知識網路——不管是同一本書內,還是跨書的筆記都可以連結。 全域搜尋 不記得是哪本書寫的也沒關係,直接搜尋筆記內容就能找到。 一鍵匯出到 Notion 把整本書的筆記匯出成一個 Notion 頁面,方便你在 Notion 裡繼續整理、分享或延伸寫作。這個功能完全選用,用你自己的 Notion 帳號連接,資料直接從手機傳到你自己的 Notion 工作區。 所有筆記都留在你的手機裡 BookNotes 不需要註冊帳號,你的書本與筆記預設只存在裝置本機,沒有廣告、沒有追蹤。 如果你也習慣一邊讀書一邊做筆記,卻受不了打字打到分心,BookNotes 讓你把力氣留給思考,而不是打字。
