Overview
- Strings in Spotify’s Android app version 9.1.18.282 reference a beta feature called Page Match for syncing reading progress across formats.
- The code describes using the phone camera and OCR to scan a printed or ebook page and jump the audiobook to the matching timestamp.
- Reverse functionality is indicated, showing the page number that corresponds to the listener’s current position in the audiobook.
- Usage appears to require unlocking or purchasing the audiobook on Spotify, and the app may prompt users to scan a nearby page if OCR fails.
- Reports flag potential complications from differing editions and likely availability only in current audiobook regions, with no official announcement or release date.
