Score Sheet Scanner for Digitizing Chess Games

Effortlessly Scan and Digitize Your Chess Games

Transform your physical chess score sheets into digital games with ease. Our innovative scanner extracts text from your score sheets, generating a digital representation of your game. An intuitive overview displays the score sheet alongside the generated moves, allowing you to swiftly correct any misrecognized moves using our smart move suggestions.

Following the digitization process, you can categorize your games into tournaments, delve deeper into analysis on platforms like Lichess or Chess.com, or export them as PGN files for further use.

Seamless Score Sheet Scanning

Capture your score sheets using our built-in scanner or select images from your gallery. The app efficiently extracts the necessary information from the images. You can specify score sheets for both White and Black players, accommodating up to two sheets per player. This feature is especially useful for tournament directors, ensuring comprehensive game data.

Effortless Game Generation

Post-scan, you can immediately generate the game or opt to manually overlay the move grid for precise input.

Versatile Notation Support

We support a variety of chess notations to cater to a global audience:

• 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, recognition accuracy may vary as they are analyzed against our existing model.

Efficient Game Generation Process

Our servers handle the conversion of score sheets into digital games. The time taken can vary based on factors like legibility, game length, and internet speed, typically ranging from 1 to 10 seconds.

Comprehensive Game Overview

The generated game overview displays the score sheet columns alongside the moves, with background colors indicating the confidence level of each move. Tapping on a move navigates you to the corresponding chess position, where alternative moves are suggested for easy correction.

Accurate Move Suggestions

If a move is misrecognized, our system offers move suggestions based on probability, which you can refine using a filter for the piece involved. After corrections, regenerate the game from the current move effortlessly.

Handling Crossed-Out or Missed Moves

Encountered crossed-out or forgotten moves? No worries! Our game overview allows you to skip or insert moves and regenerate the game with your adjustments.
