General Questions

  • BKNotes Pro is the paid version with full advanced functionality like OCR, barcode-scanning, data backup/restore, password protect, etc, while BKNotes Lite is the free version which is for trial purpose and therefore only output random parts of OCRed text and doesn’t include  data restore feature.

  • Can I upgrade to BKNotes Pro directly from BKNotes Lite?
  • No, BKNote Pro and BKNote Lite are actually different stand-alone app, which means you cannot upgrade directly from BKNote Lite to Pro version.

However, backup data from Lite version, and restore the data in Pro version will transfer all your notes data and book library to new bought BKNotes Pro.
