One gesture, it's added

ISBN scanner
Scan your books, we handle the rest
Point at the barcode: title, author, cover, summary and page count fill in by themselves. No manual typing.
Create my libraryAlways the right info
Google Books, Open Library and the BnF are queried in turn. Book not found? Title search or manual entry take over.
Scan a whole shelf
Batch mode chains scans to catalog a pile of books at once, and works even on phones without a native detector.
Frequently asked questions
How does the ISBN scanner work?
Point your phone's camera at the barcode: Reader's Spirit recognizes the ISBN and pulls in the title, author, cover, summary and page count automatically.
What if a book isn't found?
Reader's Spirit queries Google Books, Open Library and then the BnF. If the book still isn't found, you can search by title or enter it by hand.
Does the scanner work on every phone?
Yes. When the native barcode detector isn't available (for example on Safari on iOS), a built-in reader takes over.
