A chess score sheet scanner that digitizes your games.

Digitize your games by scanning score sheets.

Text is extracted from the score sheet to generate the game. An overview displays the score sheet alongside the generated moves. You can easily correct any incorrectly recognized moves using move suggestions.

Afterward, you can categorize games by tournament, analyze them on Lichess or Chess.com, or export them as PGN files.

Scanning score sheets

Score sheets can be captured using the built-in scanner or selected from your gallery. The sheet is processed directly from the image.

You can specify score sheets for both White and Black players—especially useful for tournament organizers. When generating the game, both versions are considered. Up to two score sheets can be specified per player.

Generate Game

The game can be generated immediately after scanning. 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

You can also specify other notations, but these rely on existing notation models. Text recognition may be less accurate in such cases.

Game generation

Score sheets are sent to our servers for game generation. Processing time depends on the legibility of the score sheet, game length, and internet connection—typically between 1 and 10 seconds.

Generated game overview

An overview shows the score sheet columns with the generated moves. Each move's background color indicates its probability. Tap a move to view the corresponding chess position and suggested alternatives.

Move suggestions

Quickly correct any misrecognized moves using move suggestions, organized by probability. Filter by piece type for more precision. Apply changes and regenerate the game from the current move.

Crossed-out or forgotten moves on the score sheet?

No problem :)

In the game overview, you can skip or insert moves. Then regenerate the game with your adjustments.
