YOUR WORDS, WORTH KEEPING

How to save quotes from a physical book

Photograph the page, highlight the words you want, confirm the source and keep the passage in your own collection.

  1. Open Keep a passage and take a clear photograph with the page lying as flat as possible.
  2. Move and zoom the photo, then switch to highlighting and mark the words. Undo and Clear let you adjust the selection.
  3. Review the text against the page. OCR can misread letters and numbers; you remain the editor.
  4. Confirm the remembered book or identify a new one from its cover. A page number and your own thought are optional.
  5. Save. The passage belongs to the book and can become a recall card or artwork.
