💬 Save what matters

Quotes in Firefly are not only about memorable wording. They help you keep passages you may want to return to in a week, a month or a year.

Method 1. Add manually

1

Open the book

Open the details of the book you need.

2

Go to Quotes

Find the section or button for adding a quote.

3

Paste or type the text

Optionally add a page number, a short note or some context.

4

Save

The quote will then appear in the book and in your overall quote archive.

Method 2. OCR scanning

  • open quote creation through scanning;
  • take a photo of the book page;
  • review the recognized text;
  • correct any recognition errors and save the result.

Useful tip

Try not to save everything indiscriminately. The best quote archive is the one that keeps the passages that genuinely matter to you.
