Saving a quote
biblog starts from the quote, not the book. Keep the line you liked first, then attach the book it came from.
The basic steps
- 1
Tap the orange “+” button in the middle of the tab bar.
- 2
Take a photo of the quote.
- 3
Adjust the selection, then tap the check mark.
- 4
Tap “Add book” below the quote to attach the book.
There is also a short video on attaching book details.
Adding a book by barcode
Scan the barcode on the back cover and the book details fill themselves in. Scan it from “Add book” in step 4 above.
When the text will not scan
A curved page is harder to read. Flatten the page as much as you can.
Shoot somewhere bright, and keep shadows off the page.
Books with a lot of furigana (ruby text) tend to scan less accurately.
If it does not catch the first time, taking the photo again often works.
If a particular book will not scan, let us know along with your device name.
Typing a quote in
You can also type instead of taking a photo. Tap the “+” button and choose Manual entry.
