Google Brings Shakespeare and Twain to Your IPhone
Fri, Feb 6th, 2009 |
Google has adapted its Book Search for the iPhone and its own Android platform, it announced on Thursday. It joins a growing group of network operators and content providers that are putting books on mobile phones.
Google originally began digitizing books to make them accessible over the Web from a PC through its Book Search service. Beginning with scanned images of the books' pages, Google used optical character recognition (OCR) technology to extract and index the text to make it searchable.
