Chess Scanner

A score sheet scanner designed to digitize your chess games effortlessly.

Turn your score sheets into digital games with a simple scan.

Text is automatically extracted from the score sheet to recreate the game. A clear overview shows the original score sheet alongside the generated moves. If any moves are misinterpreted, you can quickly fix them using intelligent move suggestions.

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

How to scan score sheets

You can capture score sheets using the built-in scanner or select an existing image from your gallery. The app extracts move data directly from the image.

Score sheets can be assigned to both the White and Black players—ideal for tournament organizers. During game generation, both player versions are considered. Each player can submit up to two score sheets per game.

Generate your game

Generate the game instantly after scanning, or manually adjust the move grid if needed.

Game generation process

Game generation is processed on our servers. Generation time depends on the readability of the score sheet, game length, and your internet connection, typically taking between 1 and 10 seconds.

Review your generated game

An overview presents the score sheet columns alongside the generated moves. Each move is color-coded based on recognition confidence. Tap any move to jump to the corresponding board position and explore alternative moves.

Move suggestions

Easily correct misread moves using contextual suggestions ranked by probability. Filter suggestions by piece type for faster editing. After adjusting, regenerate the game starting from the current move.

Moves crossed out or missing on the score sheet?

No problem :)

Skip or insert moves directly in the game overview, then regenerate the game to incorporate your changes.
