- For
- iPhone users converting scanned or difficult books to EPUB
- Worth noticing
- The page reports a 253-page scan taking about nine minutes entirely on the phone, and says the pipeline changed zero author words.
Field notes
The conversion process is presented as four stages, with OCR on the iPhone and deterministic rules handling typography and structure before Claude is consulted for ambiguous cases. The page says the scan images remain on-device, though recognized text and its positions are uploaded. Its examples include broken line-end hyphens, titles split across display lines, phantom navigation chapters, and footnotes detached from their markers.
