For v26.10.1
Read and mark your paper book as usual. When you want to keep a line, photograph the page with Inkive, check the recognized text, and save it with its book. This guide follows that process and answers common questions about recognition, review, and export.
Browse common questions ↓01—04
01 / Capture
Keep underlining or highlighting on paper, then photograph the page in Inkive. Capture a single page or work through several. Automatic capture waits for a steady view; batch capture prompts page turns and checks for duplicates.
02 / Review
Inkive recognizes marks and text on your device. Compare each result with the source page, correct the text, and add a note. You can select a missed sentence manually and adjust the page boundary or rotation.
03 / Organize and revisit
Pages and highlights are organized by book. Search, filter, and favorite what you saved. Start a Random Walk through one book, or revisit passages in Daily Review and Home Screen widgets.
04 / Export and back up
Export highlights as Markdown, HTML, or PDF, write to Obsidian, or export to Notion. Outside services need setup and are used when you initiate a send. You can also create and restore an encrypted backup.
