Description
Chess Scanner: Digitize Your Chess Games & Unlock Deeper Analysis!

Tired of manually transcribing your valuable chess games or losing track of your physical chess score sheets? Chess Scanner is the ultimate tool for every chess player, coach, and tournament director, effortlessly transforming your handwritten chess games into digital PGN files, ready for analysis and sharing.

Seamless Scan to Digital Chess Game
Our powerful, integrated scanner captures your chess score sheets with incredible accuracy. Whether you snap a photo or pick from your gallery, Chess Scanner intelligently extracts every chess move, converting it into a playable digital chess game. It’s perfect for preserving your tournament battles, club matches, or casual games.

Intelligent Notation Recognition & Correction
Chess Scanner supports a wide array of chess notations from around the world, making it truly global:
* 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
* Turkish: A/F/K/V/Ş
You can even specify other notations for analysis.

Did a move get smudged or missed? No problem! Our intuitive move suggestions help you quickly correct any misrecognized chess moves with high accuracy. You can easily insert, skip, or modify moves, even regenerating the game from any point after corrections.

Powerful Game Management & Chess Analysis
Once digitized, your chess games come alive:
* Visualize & Verify: See your score sheet alongside the generated chess moves. Tap any move to jump directly to that chess position and explore alternatives.
* Organize Your Chess Library: Categorize games by chess tournament, round, players, and favorites. A robust search function helps you find specific chess games or players in an instant. Add player and tournament data for comprehensive record-keeping.
* Export & Share Your Chess Games: Export individual or filtered collections of chess games as PGN files. Customize the PGN data to include tournament, date, and more. Ideal for sharing with friends, coaches, or archiving in your favorite chess database.
* Analyze on Popular Chess Platforms: Dive deep into your chess analysis! Open your digitized chess games directly in Lichess and Chess.com for engine analysis, tactical review, and strategic insights.
* Import Existing Games: Easily import other chess games into your app using PGN files, building a comprehensive personal database.

Designed for Tournament Directors & Enthusiasts
For chess tournament directors, Chess Scanner offers unique flexibility: specify up to two score sheets per player (White and Black versions) for comprehensive game generation.

Your score sheets are securely sent to our servers for advanced OCR processing. Game generation typically takes 1-10 seconds, depending on legibility and internet connection.

Comments on Chess Scanner for Android

★★★★☆ always true · Apr 23, 2025
, I buy plan for one month 230, gave chess game for generation, but it is not possible, he wants typical game for generation, not believe, not buy he plans ... good response and also gave back my money, developed think More features for growing useful for consumers
★★★★☆ J C · Sep 27, 2025
Works great, but when exporting pgn should not be behind paywall imho
★★★★★ Huy Ly · Mar 18, 2025
I brought 1 year subscription but when I switch to new phone, the subscription disappear, please help add purchase restore function or refund to me. Thanks. Reply 1: thank you for reply. And I only use one Google Account for Play Store... Reply 2: I have to subscribe again, uninstall the app and install again, and it works. Thank you for your supporting, keep your great work for better accuracy recognize chess notations. I changed my review to 5 stars.
★★★★☆ Executive Life Hacks · Nov 10, 2025
It is great, but if you stuff anything up, or cancel, you often can't generate the game and have to do everything from scratch. So frustrating! Fix this to be less flaky, and it is 5 stars. Update: Great app... but, on Android, if you cancel the generation for example, maybe to add the second scoresheet because you forgot, you then can't click the "generate game" button. It's grayed out. Happens in other circumstances too. Please also fix auto layout gen using times column.
★★★★★ Chris H · Feb 21, 2026
Works great. I use this to scan in my kids games. Way faster than typing it in manually. It's not perfect but over 90 percent accuracy. It does a great job interpreting my kids handwriting.
★★☆☆☆ Darren Stahl · May 27, 2025
After spending 15 minutes fixing up a scanned game, the app requests payment to export to PGN? It should never let me waste that much time without a warning that I have to pay to actually use the result.
