Well, until that bit of imaging/AI/webwork is implemented, it’s easy enough to peck in the titles myself.
#Bookpedia review code
Hey, wouldn’t it be great if you could capture your whole library the way Jeff Martin did with the Strahov Monastery, by shooting a gigapixel image and then using a bit of smart image analysis code to grok all the book spines, index the room, and be able to zoom into each book in the image, click on it, and read a digitized copy on the web? And then I can go through a shelf and add each book by looking up title/author bits. So, I use my iPhone (running iOS 6+) to take a panoramic photo of each shelf, swiping it slowly across so that all the book spines can be read. If your books are new, just scan the ISBN barcodes with the iPhone, zipping through as fast as you can wrangle the books. To build the catalog, we scan a shelf at a time, and add a “Location” field to note which physical shelf it is (e.g., “Upstairs 1-4 is bookcase 1, shelf 4”). Both will get you the book’s cover image and catalog information. There are two methods of input: you can scan a book’s ISBN barcode with the iPhone running Pocketpedia or, you can search for the book (any bit of author/title/ISBN/description), and then resolve the right result. A companion iPhone app, Pocketpedia, syncs with the database so you can keep your whole library catalog handy.
#Bookpedia review mac
Bookpedia runs on a Mac and keeps a database that’s easy to share across your machines, or export in various ways (e.g., put all of your library’s book covers on browsable web pages).
We use Bookpedia, by, to index our library.
In fact it can be a problem with only a few hundred books. When your home library swells to 3,000 volumes (as ours has), finding a book can be a problem.
