Scan a barcode, get the full book record
Point your phone at any barcode. The cover loads, every detail fills in. No typing.
Try TitleEntry
Most of cataloguing a book collection is data entry - title, author, publisher, year, genre for every single book. A barcode scan handles that in two seconds. No extra hardware, no app to install.
How it works
Scan the barcode
Point your phone camera at the ISBN barcode on the back of any book. TitleEntry reads the number and queries book databases, including Turkish book sources for Turkish stock, and returns the matching book instantly.
The cover loads. Everything fills in.
The book cover appears on screen alongside the full record - title, author, publisher, year, ISBN, genre. You did not type anything. Check the result, correct anything that is wrong, and move on to the next book.
No barcode? Two options.
Enter the ISBN manually if you know it and the result comes back the same way. Or add the book by hand - title, author, and whatever else you have. Nothing gets left out of your catalogue.
Export when you are ready
Every scanned book goes into your catalogue. When you are done, download the whole thing as an Excel file in one click.
ISBN scanner vs AI shelf scan
Most people use both: the ISBN scanner for day-to-day additions, the AI bookshelf scanner for full inventory sessions.
Use the ISBN scanner when
You are processing books one at a time - incoming stock at a bookstore, new acquisitions for a library, adding individual books to an existing catalogue. Faster per book, and the most precise match, since it goes directly from the barcode to the exact database record.
Use the AI shelf scan when
You need to cover large shelves quickly, or your books do not have readable barcodes - older stock, foreign-language books, anything published before the 1970s.
Who uses the ISBN scanner
