Sync your notes and bookmarks

How highlights, notes, bookmarks, tags, ratings and reading status reach your other devices once sync is on, and what happens when two devices change them.

Once sync is on, your highlights, notes and bookmarks follow you to every device that uses the same folder. Your tags, stars, folders and smart shelves travel too, and so do the theme, speed and voices you chose, unless you turn those off.

Turn it on

Turn on sync in Settings > Sync and choose the same folder on each device. See Continue reading on another device.

When you turn sync on, LuceVoce sends every note and bookmark you already have, so the other devices get your older notes as well.

What travels

  • Highlights and notes: each one you add, edit or delete, including notes you import from a Kindle or calibre.
  • Bookmarks: added, renamed or removed.
  • Tags, stars and folder of each book, your smart shelves, and what is on your Reading List.
  • Reading status (To read, Reading or Finished) when you set it yourself with Mark as. A status LuceVoce sets from your reading progress is not sent.
  • Your settings: the theme, the reading speed and the voice for each language. A voice comes along only where it can speak: natural voices (Kokoro and Piper), not your device's own voices.

Each note and bookmark lands on the same words in the other device's copy of the book, even when the copies were imported differently.

Choose what travels

Bookmarks, highlights and notes always come along. In Settings > Sync you can turn off:

  • Shelves, ratings and tags: a book's rating, tags, reading status and folder, your smart shelves and the Reading List.
  • Settings: the theme, the reading speed and the voice of each language.

When changes arrive

Your other devices take in changes when you open a book, when you come back to LuceVoce, and every 30 seconds while nothing is reading aloud. The notes panel and Notes in the library update by themselves.

A note for a book that isn't on the other device yet waits there. It appears as soon as you add the book.

When two devices change the same note

The newer change wins. If one device deletes a note at the same moment another edits it, the deletion wins.

Good to know

  • A voice note syncs like any note: it is its text.
  • Notes, bookmarks and the rest travel through your own cloud folder. Nothing goes to LuceVoce.
  • Dictionary packs stay on the device where you added them. Voices you added can be shared if you turn that on.
  • To have the books themselves, your audiobooks or your added voices on every device, see Share your books between devices.
  • The reading queue belongs to each device and is not synced.
