Bookshelf OCR and cataloging
Turn a real bookshelf photo into a usable digital catalog
SmartBookshelf scans one clear shelf photo, reads noisy book spines with OCR, cleans rough matches, and returns a reviewable digital book list.
- Reads shelf photos
- Cleans OCR misses
- Builds a clean book list
How SmartBookshelf works
- Detect visible book spines in a shelf photo.
- Extract rough title and author fragments from narrow vertical text.
- Clean and match those fragments into a usable review list.
- Save the results into a personal collection after review.
How to get better scan results
- Use one shelf level per photo whenever possible.
- Shoot straight on with readable spines and low glare.
- Retake the photo before relying on crop mode.
