About this app

EpiNote is a universal tool for those involved in field research and cataloging Jewish and other cemeteries.

With the app, you can:
• Create and edit monument catalogs directly on your mobile device.
• Save photos of tombstones from your device's camera to the catalog.
• Record names, dates of birth, death, and other personal information from the tombstones.
• Record full texts of epitaphs in Hebrew, Russian, German, and any other European languages.
• Add information about the size, material, and condition of tombstones.
• Automatically determine the GPS coordinates of each tombstone.
• Export all collected data as an Excel spreadsheet for further processing and use on a computer.

App Features:
1. CONVENIENCE AND SIMPLICITY
All you need to get started is a smartphone or tablet. The simple and intuitive interface allows you to begin cataloging immediately, without wasting time on lengthy learning curves. Using the app requires no special knowledge or training.

2. VERSATILITY
• The app is suitable for both amateur and professional fieldwork on epigraphic expeditions. EpiNote provides researchers with all the tools necessary for comprehensive scientific documentation of monuments and the creation of a complete electronic cemetery catalog: from photographing tombstones to describing their sizes and materials, as well as determining coordinates.
• A user-friendly text editor, designed with the specifics of Jewish epitaphs in mind, enables accurate transcription of inscriptions in accordance with academic standards. Its features include:
– Automatic line numbering
– Supports any Hebrew, Latin, and Cyrillic script-based languages.
– Quickly insert common abbreviations, acronyms, and ligatures.
– Use vowel points and diacritics.
– Add markings indicating the text's location on the monument.
• Exporting text data as an Excel file opens up extensive possibilities for subsequent processing, use, and publication of catalogs, including inclusion in various databases.
• Although the application was originally developed for describing Jewish cemeteries, it can be successfully used to catalog virtually any necropolis both within and outside of Europe.

3. RELIABILITY
The application automatically saves data to your device's memory after each change. You can also create a manual backup at any time. Even if your device is disconnected or crashes, all data can be restored from the saved files.

4. AUTONOMY
The application does not require an internet connection and can operate completely autonomously. Battery life is limited only by your device's battery.

5. SECURITY
All collected data is stored exclusively on your device. The application does not collect, use, or transmit user information.
