Inkive: Book Highlight Scanner

Capture the words you marked in a physical book—without manually selecting them.

Inkive uses an on-device AI OCR model to extract the exact text you’ve underlined, highlighted, or circled. Take a photo of the page, and Inkive automatically turns your natural reading marks into searchable book quotes and organized reading notes.

No manual text selection. No manual cropping. No cloud upload.

KEEP READING THE WAY YOU DO

When you mark a sentence in a paper book, you shouldn't have to recreate that action on your phone. Inkive acts as an intelligent book scanner that preserves your natural reading flow and removes the extra step of drawing a selection box around the text.
