Chess Scanner Rate : 5.0

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

The text on your score sheets is extracted to generate the game. An overview will display the score sheet alongside the generated moves. If the system does not correctly recognize any moves, you can easily correct them using move suggestions.

After processing, you have the option to categorize the games into a tournament, analyze them on platforms like Lichess or Chess.com, or export them as a PGN file.

Scanning the Score Sheets

Score sheets can be captured using the integrated scanner or selected from your gallery. The system directly extracts the score sheet from the image.

You can specify score sheets for both the White and Black players, which is particularly useful from a tournament director's perspective. When generating the game, both versions are considered. You can specify up to two score sheets per player.

Generate Game

The game can be generated directly after scanning the score sheets. Alternatively, you can manually overlay the move grid.

Supported Notations

- English: N/B/R/Q/K

Other notations can also be specified, but text recognition may be less accurate since these are analyzed based on a model of the supported notations.

Game Generation

For game generation, the score sheets are sent to our servers. The time required can vary depending on the legibility of the score sheet, the length of the game, and your internet connection. Typically, this ranges between 1 and 10 seconds.

Overview of the Generated Game

An overview displays the columns of the score sheet with the generated moves. The background color of each move indicates its likelihood of accuracy. Tapping on a move takes you directly to the corresponding chess position, where move alternatives are also suggested.

Move Suggestions

If moves were not correctly recognized, you can quickly and easily correct them using move suggestions. These are arranged based on probabilities and can be further refined using a filter on the piece to be moved. After making a change, you can regenerate the game from the current move.

Moves Crossed Out or Forgotten on the Score Sheet?

No problem! In the game overview, you can skip moves and insert new ones. After making these changes, you can simply regenerate the game.

Game Data

You can add player and tournament data to a game, along with additional information via a description field.

Overview & Filtering of Games

An overall overview displays all entered games. You can filter games by tournament, round, and favorites. Additionally, there is a search field allowing you to filter games by players or game descriptions.

Exporting Games (*)

Filtered games or individual games can be exported as a PGN file. In the settings, you can specify which data the PGN file should contain, such as tournament, round, date, etc.

Importing Games

Additional games can be imported into the app via PGN files.

To analyze the games, they can be opened directly on Lichess and Chess.com.
