Delicious Library 2
Catalog your books, movies, music, software, toys,
tools, electronics, & video games.

Delicious Library allows you to import, browse, and share all your books, movies, music and video games.
Run your very own library from your home or office using our impossibly simple interface. Delicious Library’s digital shelves act as a visual card-catalog of your books, movies, music and video games.

Delicious Library was applauded for its user interface, which inspired the movement among developers known as the Delicious Generation. It was also acclaimed for several features, including:
* Use of an iSight camera as a barcode reader.
* Use of a Bluetooth barcode scanner.
* Mini Bookshelf Dashboard widget.
* Use Spotlight to find items quickly.
* Compatibility with Amazon.com ratings, to suggest other items to a user.
* Integration with Apple Computer’s native Address Book application to allow “lending management”.
* Syncing with an iPod.
* Use of Voice Search.
* Shelves or the whole library can be printed.
* Recommendations of books, movies, CDs or videogames can be sent via email.
* Custom Collections allow the user to create their own “shelves” to organize their media.

Most people will want to use their built-in iSight® webcam to scan their items, since it’s free and it’s cooler than heck. Just hold the barcode from the book, movie, CD, or whatever up to your webcam and your item magically appears on your digital shelf seconds later — and the title is even read aloud, so you don’t have to watch what you’re doing.

Delicious Library pioneered using a webcam to scan barcodes, and is still the only program that works with built-in iSights — these do not have the ability to focus. We had to write a new algorithm, using hard math and research papers and stuff, to do “image deconvolution” where we actually use the vector processor to re-focus the out-of-focus image, like in the movies or CSI, except for real. (If you’re familiar with Photoshop, their “unsharp mask” is a primitive deconvolution filter, but suffers from artifacts that make it unusable for barcode scanning.)

If your Mac didn’t come with a built-in camera, you can use an Apple external iSight or any QuickTime®-supported digital video camera. Or search for items by hand.

If you have tons of items, or don’t want to have to take your items to your computer to scan them in, check out our Bluetooth wireless scanner

*Easter Eggs*

-When a Harry Potter item is added, Delicious Library says ‘Voldemort’ in the whisper voice
-When A Brief History of Time is added, the library talks about science concepts in a mock-synthesized voice.
