TitleEntry
Book cataloguing, made simple

AI that reads
your bookshelf.

Scan a barcode or photograph a shelf. TitleEntry fills in every detail and keeps your whole catalogue in one place.

No setup needed. Works in your phone browser.

Manual cataloguing is broken

Scanning books one at a time takes days. Enterprise software costs thousands. And most collections - school shelves, bookstore back rooms, private libraries - have no digital record at all.

Scanning one book at a time takes days

A 500-book shelf takes hours with a barcode gun. One book at a time. Standing in front of every spine. TitleEntry photographs the whole shelf and does the rest.

Enterprise software costs thousands

Follett Destiny, Ex Libris Alma - powerful systems built for institutions with IT departments and big budgets. Not for a school library doing its annual inventory, or a bookstore trying to get stock online.

Most collections have no digital record

School shelves, bookstore back rooms, boxes of unsold stock - thousands of books with no searchable catalogue. No way to know what you have, what is missing, or what is ready to sell.

How it works

Get your catalogue in three steps

No training. No hardware. No special equipment.

Watch the one-minute demo, or read the three steps below.

01

Add your books

Scan a barcode and TitleEntry fills in the cover, title, author, and metadata instantly. Or photograph an entire shelf and the AI reads every visible spine - no barcodes needed, works on old and foreign-language books too. If a book cannot be found either way, add it manually. Three ways in. Same result.

Review your book list

Books appear with title, author, ISBN, and genre. Edit anything inline. Toggle off books you want to skip. Low-confidence results are flagged for review - the AI never silently guesses.

Features

Built for real cataloguing work

Not a toy. Not enterprise bloatware. Exactly what you need.

AI shelf scan

Photograph an entire shelf at once. TitleEntry reads every spine and identifies each book automatically - covers, titles, authors, ISBNs, genres. No barcodes needed. Works on old books, foreign-language books, anything.

ISBN scanner

Scan individual books one at a time. Point your phone at the barcode, the cover loads, and every detail fills in automatically. No barcode? Enter the ISBN or add it manually.

One-click export

Download your full catalogue as a clean .xlsx file. Use it to list stock for sale on Amazon, eBay, or AbeBooks, import it into whatever system you already run, or open it in any spreadsheet tool.

Shelf management

Move books between shelves, delete withdrawn titles, keep your catalogue accurate as your collection changes. You do not have to rescan from scratch every time something moves.

Duplicate detection

Checks new scans against your entire collection - catches ISBN matches, title variations, and partial overlaps.

Inline editing

Fix a title, correct an author, change a genre - all directly in the results list. No extra screens, no page reloads.

See how it works for the AI bookshelf scanner, the ISBN scanner, or a full library inventory.

Used by school librarians, bookstores, and anyone who needs a book catalogue without the paperwork.
