Game Introduction

Score Sheet Scanner for Digitizing Chess Games

Scan your score sheets to digitize your games.

Effortlessly extract text from your score sheets to generate the game. An overview will display the score sheet alongside the generated moves. Should any moves be misrecognized, you can easily correct them using move suggestions.

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

Scanning the Score Sheets

Capture your score sheets using the integrated scanner or select them from your gallery. The app directly extracts the score sheet 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 versions are taken into account. Up to two score sheets can be specified per player.

Generate Game

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

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, recognition may be less accurate as they are analyzed based on a model of already supported notation.

Game Generation

For game generation, score sheets are sent to our servers. The time required varies depending on the legibility of the score sheet, game length, and internet connection, typically ranging from 1 to 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 recognition likelihood. Tapping on a move directly takes you to the corresponding chess position, where alternative moves are suggested.

Move Suggestions

If moves are not correctly recognized, you can quickly correct them using move suggestions. These are arranged based on probabilities and can be filtered by the piece to be moved. After making changes, 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 or insert moves. Afterwards, simply regenerate the game with your changes.

Game Data

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

Overview & Filtering of Games

An overall overview displays all entered games. Filter games by tournament, round, and favorites. A search field allows filtering by players or game descriptions.

*Exporting Games ()**

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

Importing Games

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

*Analyze Games ()**

Analyze games directly on Lichess and Chess.com.
