Manual cataloguing is broken
Scanning books one at a time takes days. Enterprise software costs thousands. And most collections - school shelves, charity donations, 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 charity sorting this week's donations.
Most collections have no digital record
Private libraries, school shelves, donated book banks - thousands of books with nowhere to search for them. A complete catalogue used to mean weeks of work. Now it takes an afternoon.
Get your catalogue in three simple steps
No training. No hardware. No special scanners or cables needed.
Scan your shelf
Open TitleEntry on your phone browser. Point the camera at a shelf and take a photo. The AI reads every visible spine - even without barcodes, even on old or foreign-language books.
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.
Export to Excel
Hit Export. Download a ready-to-use Excel spreadsheet with all your books, metadata, and organisation. Works with Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers - any spreadsheet tool your organisation uses.
Built for real cataloguing work
Not a toy. Not enterprise bloatware. Exactly what you need.
One-click Excel export
Download a clean .xlsx file compatible with Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers, or any spreadsheet tool.
Duplicate detection
Checks new scans against your entire collection - catches ISBN matches, title variations, and partial overlaps.
Inline editing
Fix titles, authors, ISBNs, and genres directly in the results list. No modals, no page reloads.
Full scan history
Every session is saved. Resume interrupted scans, re-export old sessions, or review what was added.
Barcode and spine scanning
Point at a barcode for an instant ISBN match, or let the AI read the spine. Works either way — same result, same export.
Scan an entire shelf in one go
Not one book at a time. One sweep covers the whole shelf.

Frequently asked questions
What if my books don't have barcodes?
No problem. TitleEntry's AI reads spine text directly - title, author, publisher - so it works on books from any era, including pre-1970 collections that predate ISBNs entirely.
Can I export my data?
Yes. Every scan session and your full book library can be exported as an Excel (.xlsx) file with one click. No setup, no mapping, no hassle.
Does it work on a phone browser?
Yes. TitleEntry is a web app that works directly in your mobile browser. No app download needed. Open the site, tap Scan, point your camera.
What happens to books the AI is unsure about?
Low-confidence results are flagged for your review. You can correct the title, author, or any field inline before saving - the AI never silently guesses.
How does pricing work?
You pay a one-time $19 access fee which includes 100 AI scan credits and unlimited barcode scanning. Credits never expire. Top up when you need more - there are no monthly charges.
