An app for scanning notation sheets

Hey guys!

I took a long break from chess (about 10 years) but i just started back and again. The first thing I noticed that seemed foreign to me was taking notation. While I'm getting back into the swing of that, i thought it would be a cool idea to make that digital. Since taking notes is kind of old fashioned anyways. And by old fashioned i mean in the education and business world, we're moving to Evernote and OneNote and so on. It just makes more sense to store things digitally instead of on paper. Much easier to track and your closet doesn't become corroded with crinkly notebooks. 

So I made an app!

Right now the features are pretty simple yet very useful. You open the app, snap a picture of your score sheet, and watch it convert to a digital game on your phone. It doesn't get all the moves right every time but that's the case with machine learning. The more pictures i have of notation sheets the better it will get.

As far as other features go..that's pretty much it! Let me know if you guys have any other ideas you'd like me to throw in here.

Oh and sorry android users. This is strictly iOS right now. If theres interest i will build one for android i promise!

I'm not sure if that link takes you to the appstore so if you want you can search "Chess Lens" and it looks like the picture below

There exist digital boards that automatically generate the score sheet, even for blitz or bullet.

Love the answer ... cant stand when someone says as you do but with no quick links and or backup facts ... you get my thinking ... thus thank you! however please upon share facts list the outcome Thank you!!

No no no silly ... that is not what the post is about ... that is dgt software on screen etc which is cool and am getting soon ... I am wanting students to maybe use (as well as handwrite) but also software they just move pieces and it notes the game ... no more pen/paper ... uscf has verfied a few a well but am just looking around for the best ones

And by the way to be clear ... I dont want to carry around a dgt board this is for any board i or one goes to ... carrys a ipad with the said software to notate vs. pen / paper .. thx.

how about android user....

Hi, please make the app available in the UK too. I cannot change the region as then I have to cancel my apple music. Thx

I also started developing and experiencing with using OCR on chess notation to make an app exactly like that!
First of all I think this is awesome and would like a android app\demo to try and see how well it is made.

By the way I am interested about the development process and also have some suggestions and business ideas so I would be happy to have a chat with you about it

I tried to install and try it on an iphone but its sadly not available in my region

do you have a github repo for your app?

Hi everyone,

I've also created an app "Chess Digitizer" for the same purpose (available for Android and iOS). However, it's more geared towards tournament organizers, allowing input of score sheets for both players.

You can access the app directly via the following link:

For further information and a video about the app, visit the website https://chessdigitizer.comPlease let me know if you are missing any functionality or have any ideas to improve the app.

Hi,

New feature "Scan Scoresheet & create PGN" will soon be released in ChessEvents App

Watch this video. 3 scoresheets scanned & accuracy in detecting moves are (100%, 96% & 93%)
