At Glose we love to push the limits of technology, design, and science to create the future of reading and learning. See our projects below, small or big, who - piece by piece - contribute to (re)connecting humans to the written word.
Solutions for Authors who want to connect & distribute directly to their readers
A digital hub for the world’s number 1 author
We partnered with two world-leading publishers to build the first direct-to-consumer ebook app for best-selling author James Patterson. The author wanted his own digital platform to sell a new collection of ebooks directly to his readers, and provide a cutting edge mobile reading experience to his fans. This is the first attempt to disintermediate the ebook distribution channel, and to empower an author with technology to serve and communicate with his fans directly.
Autograph
A solution for authors’ digital book signings
We built Autograph for authors who want to delight their readers with digital book signings. The app allows authors to receive requests from their fans, respond with a message, photo, and an autograph designed by hand on the screen of an iPhone or iPad. Best thing: digital autographs are animated and reproduce the movement of the author’s hand on the first page of the signed ebook.
Super Search
Super-charged in-book search
We built the best solution for in-book searching. Beyond searching for book authors, titles, or descriptions, look for any word, expression, or name across our +1,000,000 ebooks. Results are immediate and the search engine shows the full sentence and book page for every request.
Embeddable Ebooks
Share ebooks everywhere
We make ebooks embeddable in any web page to help authors, publishers, bloggers, and media promote great books! Our goal is to connect long form content to the web. To do that we make traditionally closed formats like epubs and pdfs as easy to share and engage with than photos, videos, or tweets. The easier it is to share knowledge, ideas, and stories encapsulated in long form content, the smarter the world will be. That’s the idea.
Gif Quotes
Animated book quotes for messaging
We created a collection of +15,000 quotes that we automatically convert into beautifully animated and illustrated Gifs. Featuring quotes from famous books, scripts, speeches by great authors, artists, and leaders, Gif Quotes connects to social media and messaging platforms to make it easy for people to share bit-sized pieces of inspiration with friends. Gif Quotes has been featured in Facebook Messenger and Apple’s app stores. It’s about building a bridge between long form content and messaging platforms.
Automatic segmentation
Natural Language Process applied to Ebooks
We use machine learning and natural language processing to itemize long form content.Our technology opens ebooks to sharing, collaboration, and augmentation with crowd-sourced content.
Classics revisited
Reformatting of +100 classics of work literature
We created the best version of hundreds of public domain ebooks, with custom designed book covers, text parsing, and optimized page formatting. Our classics are open to rich media annotations and sharing to social media. Also, they’re free...!
Reading data for Education
Making reading smart with big data
We provide students and educators with data feedback on their individual or class reading activity. Data provides readers with patterns and personalized recommendations to enhance reading activity and efficiency.
Chatbots Family
Bots who find and share the best of books
We created a family of chatbots who pick the best quotes from scripted material (books, texts, speeches, movie scripts, song lyrics, …) to share them on Facebook Messenger. Every bot has his own personality and manages conversations in his field of expertise. Abe loves to inspire people, Rocky is a motivator, Warren is a business coach etc. It’s about distributing the best curated content from books through characters who make it alive in the context of conversations.
