As answered by people managing ShellNewHandler and TitleEntry.
TitleEntry's answer:
TitleEntry reads books from a photo of the shelf. The AI bookshelf scanner reads the spines, identifies each book and picks the edition from the publisher printed on the spine, so old, second-hand and foreign-language books with no usable barcode still get catalogued. Barcode scanning handles everything with an ISBN, and books with no barcode at all can be added from a photo of the title page. The same catalogue is then used for AI stocktaking: photograph the shelves and TitleEntry reports what is missing, short or not yet catalogued.
TitleEntry's answer:
Most cataloguing apps depend on a barcode. TitleEntry also works where barcodes run out: shelves of older stock, books in other languages and collections that were never catalogued. It is one place to add books, organise them on shelves, check them against lists, count them at stocktake and export them, from a phone or a desktop browser. Libraries can export MARC records and print barcode and spine labels; bookshops can record sales against their stock. Every account is set up with you, so you start with a catalogue shaped to your collection.
TitleEntry's answer:
Bookshops, both new and second-hand, school and small libraries, and private book collectors: anyone with a physical collection that needs an accurate, searchable record and a fast way to keep it up to date.
TitleEntry's answer:
TitleEntry began with a simple question: why does cataloguing a shelf still mean typing every book in by hand? The first customer was a bookshop in Turkey with a large legal and academic list, and about half its stock was missing from the usual book databases. Making those books findable shaped the product: TitleEntry looks books up across several sources, including national library catalogues, and reads spines and title pages when no database has the book. It has since grown to serve libraries, schools and collectors, with stocktaking, list checks, labels and MARC export added along the way.
TitleEntry's answer:
A web app that runs in any phone or desktop browser and can be installed to a home screen. AI vision models read book spines and title pages, the phone camera or a USB scanner reads barcodes, and book details come from several book databases and national library catalogues.

I've always used ShellNewHandler for this. It's a really simple portable utility that allows you to remove most of the items from that menu. Tested it out on Windows 11 and it's still compatible. Source: over 5 years ago
