Field notes
After a page is held in view, the app reads it before the user traces; touching freezes the frame, and releasing saves the selected passage with a recognized page number. The page says book titles and authors can be added through barcode lookup with the National Diet Library Search, or entered manually. Text and notes can be exported as Markdown or JSON, but diagrams and source-page images are omitted.
