highlighter alternative Anonymous 12/09/26(Wed)20:47 No. 1098

sometimes when I read I come across a paragraph I like and I want to write it down. that's tedious, with technology is there a novel way of photocopying a small piece of a book? I was thinking a hand-held scanner, or just taking a zoomed in picture of the text. then I'd file the pictures for each book as "interesting passages" or whatever.

anyone have ideas on computerized techniques of highlighting passages?

oh, I guess I could have used a semicolon there.

thanks for reinforcing the idea of a digital camera. I thought I might have been lambasted for such a simple idea; I'll consider it more of an option

anyone else have thoughts on capturing a piece of text?

>pen scanners
so that's what they're called. thanks I'll look more into them, maybe I can find a way to make it work how I want

that's the type of tangent-info I was also hoping to learn. thanks for letting me know, I didn't know apps had text recognition like that
