Region Clipping Demo

You can now clip image regions from your pages — not just text. Capture any part of a PDF, EPUB, or Note page and it's saved into the same clip list as your text highlights, ready to review, insert into a note, merge, filter, or search.

Highlights

• 📸 Capture a region of any page with an interactive, e-ink-tuned crop tool.
• 🎯 Two ways in — a dedicated header image button, or the Clip Region option after selecting a short bit of text.
• 🧩 Mixed clips — a single clip can hold both text and images; images render inline on the card.
• 🗒️ Insert into Notes — captured images drop into your open note in order, interleaved with text.
• 🔢 Build label — the dashboard footer shows vX.Y.Z (build N) so you always know what's installed.

How to use it

Capture button: open the Clipper dashboard over a document/note → tap the Clip image icon (top-right, scissors with an image) → frame the region (drag to move, resize from any of the 8 handles) → Clip selected region.

From a selection: select a short phrase (≤ 5 words) → Clip → Clip Region → frame and save.

I have been building inkRead, an open source document reader for the Supernote, and I am looking for a few people to help beta test it.

This is not trying to be a KOReader replacement. KOReader is great and does far more across far more devices. inkRead is narrower on purpose: it is built specifically for the Supernote (RK3566, Android 11) and tuned around how this hardware actually behaves, the pen, the refresh, palm rejection, and first class handwriting on the page.

What works today:

- Reads PDF and EPUB (More formats in the working)

- Write and highlight directly on the page with a movable tool palette

- Four ink colors, adjustable thickness, eraser, lasso, undo and redo

- Pinch to zoom with a page navigator, reflow and font size, contrast and crop

- Full text search, table of contents, bookmarks and go to page

- Dictionary lookup with thesaurus, plus the ability to add your own dictionaries

- Lasso multi line selection as Supernote Digest, which I think is fairly unique to inkRead

- Export your annotations back into the PDF, or keep a separate annotated copy

- Offline first, AGPL-3.0 licensed

Demo

inkRead Demo (BETA)

What I need from testers: try it on your own books, push on the handwriting and refresh behaviour, and tell me where it breaks or feels wrong on your device. Bug reports, rough edges, and honest feedback all welcome.

To Fellow Developers

It is also open to contributors. The project is AGPL-3.0 and the architecture is a Kotlin and Android shell on top of a Rust core that handles parsing, layout, rendering, the refresh policy and the ink model, with the core building and testing on the host so you do not need a device to work on most of it. If you write Rust or Kotlin, or you just know the Supernote internals well, there is a lot here to dig into, from format support and reflow to the pen and refresh paths. Code, ideas, and issue reports are all welcome.

Thanks!

I submitted a request to join the beta program through the device feedback a while back and still haven't gotten any response. Starting to wonder if that's even the right way to do it, or if I just got lost in the queue somewhere.

any chance you could check on this? Or if anyone here has gotten into the beta before, how did you actually go about it?
