## Description

ISBN Scan is an ISBN (International Standard Book Number) reader application. 
It could not only read the ISBN bar-code but also read the ISBN number itself by the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) powered functions.

There is no need to press the shutter when reading, this application reads live images reflected in the camera just by simply waving your device. It has ability to read the ISBN at high accuracy with super-fast speed.

You can also view the detailed information of the book from the ISBN as well as share them via SNS (Social Network Services) or e-mail.

ISBN Scan is the software that was commercialized with "RealCodeScan" - the Bar-code / OCR engine customized by Leontec Co., Ltd.

Our "RealCodeScan" engine can be easily integrated into variety of smart-phone applications, including the iOS. For those who are interested in it, please feel
free to contact us for more information.

## Review summary

User reviews consistently cite fast barcode scanning and OCR for non-barcode ISBNs, plus a free, intuitive interface and useful export options as the app's strengths. The downsides repeatedly mentioned are reliability issues: scanning sometimes fails or freezes, and OCR accuracy can be inconsistent. Data management concerns include proprietary backups and limited CSV export in some cases, with real risk of data loss. Book data coverage also drops for newer titles, and the organizer features (categories, shelves) are underdeveloped. Some users also report language/help limitations. Overall, it's handy for cataloging but with notable caveats about reliability and data handling.

### Pros

- Fast barcode scanning.
- OCR-based ISBN capture for books without barcodes.
- Free to use with no required subscription or account.
- Intuitive design and ease of use.
- Export/share data (CSV export) for use in other apps.

### Cons

- Unreliable scanning/recognition; frequent failures or freezes.
- Inconsistent OCR accuracy.
- Limited or proprietary backups/export options; no easy CSV export in some cases; risk of data loss.
- Data coverage gaps for newer or popular books.
- Underdeveloped organization features (categories/shelves).
