GoBookz
Turn PDF Go books into offline HTML readers with interactive diagrams and searchable text.
GoBookz turns Go/Baduk/Weiqi PDFs into self-contained HTML books you can keep. Select a diagram to replay its moves or explore a variation, search the text, bookmark a page, and read offline.

From PDF to an interactive book
- Import a PDF and choose its text language. Facing-page scans can be split into separate reading pages.
- Compare detected diagrams with the originals. Correct grid edges, stones, labels, and move sequences in the editor.
- Review extracted text and OCR, arrange pages, and choose whether to preserve individual pages as original images.
- Export one HTML file containing the reader, text, and interactive boards.
The reader keeps the original layout or switches to reflow for reading. Diagrams support source moves, variations, comments, and temporary trial moves. Original-image pages preserve illustrations or covers, but their text cannot be searched and their printed diagrams are not interactive.
Study on your device
PDFs and corrections stay on your device. The browser converter is experimental and can be prepared for offline use; a native mode also runs locally on your computer. Exported books open directly in a browser without keeping GoBookz running.
Optional translation turns Japanese, Korean, and Chinese text into English. Translation models need an initial download. Read-aloud uses device or browser voices; offline narration needs an on-device voice.
Recognition, move order, OCR, and translation can need correction. Review the source before exporting. The walkthrough contains reviewed examples of reader features, rather than an automatic-recognition accuracy claim.
