Create your libraries in a smart and fast way. The application is totally free and doesn't require your data. When you first start the application you can give your library a name. Here are the features: CREATION BY ISBN SCANNING Scanning the ISBN code, that usually is on the back cover, you can quickly fill the main fields and the cover. You can add also the ISBN manually. CREATION BY OCR A valid and unconventional alternative to ISBN scanning, useful when the ISBN is absent or not available. You can take a photo of the book cover and OCR will recognize text blocks, which you can then label as Title, Author, Subtitle or Publisher. In this way you can minimize manual data entry. The OCR is available also for the field "synopsis": you can for example scan the back cover to obtain the book description. CREATION THROUGH SEARCH You can search in a very large repository your book. MANUAL FORM FILL The classic form filling. There is an autocomplete system for the fields "genre", "publisher" and "location". SEVERAL LIBRARIES MANAGEMENT You can have a default libraries and as many you want secondary libraries. CONSULTATION You can browse your library through a clear and simple interface. Books can be selected and deleted from the main page or in the detail, which you can access by tapping on the book. On the main page you can mark the book as favorite as well as read/not read. FULL-TEXT SEARCH You can search across all fields. You can use the wildcard * at the beginning, in the middle, at the end of the word (eg. if I want to search "Shakespeare", I can write "Sh*are"). SEARCH BY ISBN The search by ISBN is also available, scanning the code on the back cover of the book. ADVANCED SEARCH You can have more control on the search and search field by field, both with the wildcard * (described above) or the wildcard # at the beginning of the word for an exact match. FILTERS The collection can be filtered by favorites, read/not read, period (years), genre and location. PDF EXPORT The application gives a custom PDF export. Every item in the PDF document has a clickable icon that sends to the index. There are two types of indexing: - The indexing by title creates a classic index with clickable titles (plus author); - The indexing by author creates an index in which authors are grouped alongside with their works. Download the application and hold a sea of books in the palm of your hand.
