+# InstaQuote (PhotoQuote)
+
+InstaQuote (also called PhotoQuote) is a quote logging application with OCR capabilities for capturing passages directly from physical books.
+
+## Concept
+
+Readers frequently encounter passages worth remembering but face friction in recording them. InstaQuote lets users photograph a page, extract the text via optical character recognition, and save the quote with metadata (book title, author, page number). Over time, the app builds a personal library of curated passages.
+
+## Design Vision
+
+The app combines a camera interface optimized for book pages with a quote management system. Users can tag, search, and share their collected quotes. Social features could enable discovery of what others are reading and highlighting.
+
+## Status
+
+**Hackathon concept** from the MIT era. The core OCR technology has since become widely available through smartphone cameras and apps like Google Lens, though a purpose-built quote management layer remains underserved.
