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.
Get your catalogue in three steps
No training. No hardware. No special equipment.
Watch the one-minute demo, or read the three steps below.
Add your books
Scan a barcode and TitleEntry fills in the cover, title, author, and metadata instantly. Or photograph an entire shelf - up to 20 photos at once - and the AI reads every visible spine, no barcodes needed. For a book with no barcode and a worn spine, photograph its title page. Anything else, search by title and pick the edition. Four 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.
Manage and export
Your books land in one catalogue you can search, filter and sort into shelves. When you need a file, export it to Excel - it opens in Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers or any spreadsheet tool.

Built for real cataloguing work
Not a toy. Not enterprise bloatware. Exactly what you need.
AI shelf scan
Photograph an entire shelf, or choose up to 20 photos in one batch. TitleEntry reads every spine and identifies each book - covers, titles, authors, ISBNs, genres - choosing the edition from the publisher printed on the spine. No barcodes needed.
AI stocktaking
For libraries and bookstores: photograph the shelves and TitleEntry counts every book against your catalogue, then shows what is missing, short or never catalogued. Barcodes and the phone camera work too.
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? Search by title and pick the right edition, or add it by hand.
Title pages
Books with no barcode and no readable spine: photograph the title page and the AI reads it. Old collections, reports and papers go into the same catalogue.
Lists, labels and MARC
For libraries: flag books against an approved list, give every copy a barcode, print barcode and spine labels, and export MARC records.
Selling
For bookstores: sell by barcode, mark books sold with price and channel, and keep sold-out books in the catalogue for when they come back.
Shelf management
Move books between shelves, delete withdrawn titles, and record what matters to you: condition, price, cost, call number, notes. 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.
Import and export
Bring in the list you already keep from a CSV or Excel file. Download the whole catalogue as an .xlsx file any time, with cover images if you like.
