FAQ

Notaria questions and answers

Answers to common questions about Notaria, privacy, platforms, and the core workflow.

Is Notaria free to use?

Yes. Notaria is free to use — your bookshelf, notes, quotes, reading sessions, quizzes, recall, insights, sharing, export, on-device page scanning, and voice transcription are all included. The free plan covers up to 10 books; Premium is a single one-time purchase that unlocks unlimited books plus extra customization.

What does Premium unlock?

Premium unlocks unlimited books — the free plan covers up to 10 — plus extra customization: additional appearance themes, quiz question types, and recall card styles. It is a one-time purchase, not a subscription, so there is no recurring bill and nothing to cancel.

Does the OCR page scanning work on any book?

Page scanning runs entirely on your device and works on most clearly printed pages — no internet needed. Very small print, curved pages, and low light are harder, so a steady, well-lit, flat shot gives the cleanest text.

Can Notaria transcribe voice notes about my reading?

Yes. You can record a thought while reading and transcribe it with on-device speech recognition — the audio never leaves your phone. Transcription uses a speech model you download once inside the app, and accuracy depends on your device, the language, and the recording quality. Transcripts are saved to the book and become searchable.

Does Notaria work offline?

Yes. Your notes, quotes, and books live on your device, and page scanning and transcription run locally. You only need a connection to look up new books by title or ISBN, and to download a speech model the first time.

Is my reading data private?

Your books, notes, quotes, scans, and recordings stay in a local database on your device — they are not uploaded to us, and scanning and transcription run on-device. Like most apps, Notaria does collect anonymous usage analytics to improve the product.

Can I share or export my notes and quotes?

You can turn any saved quote into a quote card and share it as an image (portrait, square, or story format) or as plain text. Notes and transcripts can be copied out of the app whenever you need them elsewhere.

What happens to Premium if I switch phones?

Premium is a one-time purchase tied to your Apple or Google account, so you can restore it after a reinstall or a device change. Your library itself lives on your device — use the built-in backup and restore to move your books, notes, and quotes across.

Notaria is a book notes app for iPhone. Save quotes, scan pages with OCR, transcribe voice notes, and remember what you read with quiz-based recall. Free.
