How to Extract English Words from Book Photos

For tactile English learners who love real books, this is the perfect hybrid workflow. Read naturally, highlight aggressively, and let our OCR engine convert those images into highly effective flashcards.

Bridging Physical and Digital

There's something special about holding a physical English book. This tool ensures you don't have to sacrifice the benefits of modern digital Spaced Repetition Systems (SRS) when studying from traditional media.

Steps to Success

Here's how it works:

- Read books and highlight unfamiliar vocabulary: The fastest way to find unknown vocabulary is by simply reading books and highlighting any words whose translation you don't know. It's best to use a typical colorful highlighter.
- Create flashcards by uploading photos: Just take pictures of your book pages with highlighted words, and the website will create flashcards from them.
- Manage your flashcards: after uploading photos you will be able to view, modify or delete your vocabulary.
- Export your flashcards to Anki or in the form of a printable PDF: Anki is a widely recognized software for flashcards. If you haven't installed Anki yet, you can get it for PC, Android or iOS (free for PC and Android). If you prefer not to use Anki, you can still export your vocabulary in the form of a printable PDF and study it using printed paper flashcards.
