Application Description

Digitize your chess games by scanning your handwritten score sheets.

Scan your score sheets to convert your games into digital format.

The application extracts text from your score sheet to generate the game notation. An overview will display the original sheet alongside the recognized moves. You can easily correct any recognition errors using intelligent move suggestions.

Once digitized, you can organize games into tournaments, analyze them on Lichess or Chess.com, or export them as a PGN file.

Scanning Score Sheets

Capture score sheets using the built-in scanner or select an image from your gallery. The move notation is extracted directly from the image.

You can specify separate score sheets for the White and Black players, which is especially useful for tournament organizers. The generation process considers both versions, allowing up to two sheets per player.

Generate the Game

Generate the game immediately after scanning, or choose to manually align the move grid for greater 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

Other notation styles are also supported, but recognition may be less accurate as they are interpreted based on known notation models.

Game Generation Process

Game generation is processed on our servers. The time required varies depending on the score sheet's legibility, game length, and your internet connection, typically taking between 1 and 10 seconds.

Overview of the Generated Game

An overview shows the score sheet columns with the generated moves. Each move is color-coded to indicate recognition confidence. Tap any move to jump to the corresponding board position and view alternative move suggestions.

Move Suggestions

Quickly correct any misrecognized moves using context-aware suggestions, sorted by probability. You can filter suggestions by piece type. After a correction, you can regenerate the game from that point onward.

Handling Crossed-Out or Forgotten Moves?

No problem :)

From the game overview, you can skip or insert moves as needed, then regenerate the game to incorporate your changes.

Enrich your games by adding player names, tournament details, and additional notes in the description field.
