BookTalks

Transform how you engage with books. BookTalk lets you capture thoughts, quotes, and insights as you read — using your voice, camera, or keyboard.

**VOICE ANNOTATIONS**
Record audio notes hands-free while reading. Your recordings are automatically transcribed using on-device speech recognition — no internet required, completely private.

**PUSH TO TALK**
Enable Push to Talk for the ultimate hands-free experience. Record annotations from your Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, or Control Center without ever opening the app. Perfect for audiobook listeners or reading on the go.

**IMAGE ANNOTATIONS**
Snap photos of passages, diagrams, or interesting pages. Add captions to provide context for future reference.

**TEXT NOTES**
Type quick thoughts, favorite quotes, or reflections directly. Add page numbers to any annotation so you can find it again.

**SMART LIBRARY**
- Add books manually or scan ISBN barcodes for automatic title, author, and cover lookup
- Organize with archive functionality
- Each book has its own annotation timeline

**POWERFUL SEARCH**
Find any annotation instantly with full-text search across all your transcriptions and captions. Never lose a brilliant insight again.

**FEED VIEW**
Browse all your annotations across all books in one place. Shuffle for serendipitous rediscovery of past reading notes.
