Hi Product Hunters, I am Olivier, the co-founder of Quotle. We just launched Quotle yesterday on iOS and it's so cool to be on Product Hunt today. With Quotle, our goal is to help book lovers save, share and discover inspiring pieces of text from their mobile. When reading a book, Quotle allows you to use your phone’s camera to capture a paragraph you like. Thanks to its Optical Character Recognition (OCR) system, Quotle automatically recognizes the characters from the picture and generate a beautiful card with customizable design. Then, you can archive this card (on your phone’s library or on your personal notes) or share it on social networks, or by email or message. We hope you will like it and we will be really happy to get your feedbacks and answer your questions

Nice! This is awesome from traditional paperback books, but is there any way to extract highlights from a read in iBooks? Or do you do that already? That would be ideal as many reads happen digitally now-a-days.

@imcatnoone Same question :) Would be very useful to extract quotes from online articles.
Cat Noone
@jcvarlet Agreed. Instapaper does this really well when it comes to sharing text shots from articles, which I'm quite fond of and use often. However, it doesn't solve the problem when it comes to eBooks. I wouldn't use this app for articles (as Instapaper does that within the app) but I would use it for eBook quote sharing.

@jcvarlet @imcatnoone I believe the app has been thought for printed content first. I tested to share from digital content, two possibilities work quite well: - if the content is on mobile, you can just copy the text and paste it in quotle (first screen you can choose between a picture and typing -or pasting- content) - if the content is on your computer, you can make a picture, the OCR works perfectly well.

@jcvarlet @imcatnoone for online articles, we allow you to browse the content of your image library, so if you have made a screenshot of an online article, you can quotle it.

Sometimes I want to share quotes from my Kindle, but the share feature by Amazon really sucks. I can't wait for the Android app :)

@fgrante yes, with quotle you can take a pic of your kindle :D (seriously, I have tested that, is works pretty well). For the android, we will do that for late 2015 or early 2016
