PageScribe: Handwriting and offline dictionary audio for KOReader

I built PageScribe so I could write in my ebooks

PageScribe is an open-source KOReader plugin that lets you handwrite notes with a stylus while your finger still selects text for highlights and dictionary lookups. A separate plugin, Dictionary Audio, adds offline English and Spanish pronunciation to dictionary lookups on Android. The author tested on a Viwoods AiPaper Mini with KOReader v2026.07.2-206; Spanish playback remains silent on a Boox Tab Ultra C. Handwriting is tied to page layout, so changing font size or margins can shift existing ink.

The pen writes. The finger selects.
