Chess Scanner

Transform your traditional chess score sheets into digital format effortlessly with our advanced score sheet scanner. This tool is designed to digitize your chess games, making them accessible and analyzable with just a few taps.

**Scan your score sheets to digitize your games.**

Our app extracts text from your score sheet to generate the chess game. An intuitive overview displays the score sheet alongside the generated moves. If the scanner misinterprets any moves, you can quickly correct them using our smart move suggestions feature.

Once your game is digitized, you can categorize it into a tournament, analyze it on platforms like Lichess or Chess.com, or export it as a PGN file for further use.

**Scanning the score sheets**

Capture your score sheets using our integrated scanner or select them from your gallery. The app directly extracts the game data from the image. You can specify score sheets for both White and Black players, which is especially useful for tournament directors. When generating the game, both players' versions are considered, allowing up to two score sheets per player.

**Generate Game**

After scanning, you can generate the game instantly. Alternatively, manually overlay the move grid for precise control.

**Supported notations**

• English: N/B/R/Q/K
• German: S/L/T/D/K
• Dutch: P/L/T/D/K
• Spanish / Italian: C/A/T/D/R
• French: C/F/T/D/R
• Portuguese: C/B/T/D/R
• Czech / Slovak: J/S/V/D/K

While other notations can be specified, their recognition may be less accurate as they are analyzed based on a model of the supported notations.

**Game generation**

The game generation process involves sending the score sheets to our servers. The time taken depends on factors like the score sheet's legibility, the game's length, and your internet connection, typically ranging from 1 to 10 seconds.

**Overview of the generated game**

The overview shows the score sheet columns alongside the generated moves. The background color of each move reflects its recognition confidence. Tapping on a move directs you to the corresponding chess position, where alternative moves are suggested.

**Move suggestions**

If a move is misrecognized, our app offers move suggestions to correct it swiftly. These suggestions are ranked by probability and can be filtered by the piece to be moved. After correcting a move, you can regenerate the game from that point.

**Moves crossed out or forgotten on the score sheet?**

No worries! In the game overview, you can skip or insert moves and then regenerate the game with your adjustments.

**Game data**

Enhance your game records by adding player and tournament data, along with a description field for additional context.

**Overview & filtering of games**

Our app provides a comprehensive overview of all entered games, allowing you to filter them by tournament, round, and favorites. A search feature lets you find games by players or descriptions.

**Exporting games (\*)**

Export filtered or individual games as PGN files. In the settings, you can choose which data to include in the PGN, such as tournament details, rounds, and dates.

**Importing games**

Import additional games into the app using PGN files.
