Chess Scanner

Introducing the Score Sheet Scanner for Digitizing Chess Games

Effortlessly Scan and Digitize Your Chess Games

Our innovative score sheet scanner transforms your handwritten chess game records into digital format with ease. Simply scan your score sheets, and our technology extracts the text to generate the game. An intuitive overview displays the original score sheet alongside the generated moves, allowing you to spot and correct any misrecognized moves using our smart move suggestions feature.

After digitizing your games, you can categorize them into tournaments, analyze them on platforms like Lichess or Chess.com, or export them as PGN files for further use.

Effortless Scanning of Score Sheets

Capture your score sheets using our built-in scanner or select them from your gallery. Our system accurately extracts the game data from the images. You can specify score sheets for both White and Black players, which is especially useful for tournament directors. Our system can handle up to two score sheets per player, ensuring comprehensive game generation.

Generate Your Game with Ease

Post-scanning, you can instantly generate the game or choose to manually overlay the move grid for finer control.

Support for Multiple Notations

Our scanner supports a variety of chess notations to cater to different languages:

• 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 are also supported, recognition accuracy may vary.

Seamless Game Generation

Game generation involves sending the score sheets to our servers, where the process typically takes between 1 and 10 seconds, depending on factors like the legibility of the score sheet and the length of the game.

Comprehensive Game Overview

The overview feature displays the score sheet columns with the corresponding generated moves. Each move's background color indicates its recognition confidence level. Tapping on a move will take you to the relevant chess position, where alternative moves are suggested for easy correction.

Efficient Move Suggestions

If a move is incorrectly recognized, our move suggestion feature helps you quickly correct it. Suggestions are sorted by probability, and you can filter them by the piece to be moved. After corrections, regenerate the game from the current move for an updated version.

Handling Crossed-Out or Missed Moves

Don't worry if you've crossed out moves or forgotten to record some. Our game overview allows you to skip or insert moves, and then regenerate the game with your adjustments.

Enhanced Game Data Management

Add player and tournament data, and enrich your game records with descriptions for a more detailed analysis.

Organized Game Overview and Filtering

An overall view lists all your entered games, which you can filter by tournament, round, favorites, or search by player names or game descriptions.

Exporting and Importing Games

Export your filtered or individual games as PGN files, with customizable data fields like tournament details, round, and date. Import additional games into the app using PGN files.

Advanced Game Analysis

For deeper insights, open your digitized games directly on Lichess and Chess.com for thorough analysis. Note that exporting and analyzing features are available with our premium subscription.
