Field notes
The described workflow starts with phone photos of a book's printed index, not a catalog supplied by the service. The page says the app reads and searches on the device, with encrypted sync for restoring a library on another phone. Testers are asked to share scans, recognized text and logs; photos are kept for up to 48 hours on the server before being moved to the maker's computer until testing ends.
