How it works

From scoresheet to PGN in three steps

Scan a chess scoresheet — 1. Snap your scoresheet

Edit moves on an interactive board — 2. Read & fix on the board

Validated PGN output — 3. Get clean, validated PGN

Snap a photo

Photograph your scoresheet or pick one from your library.

AI reads & validates

It transcribes the moves and checks each one for legality, flagging anything that needs a look.

Fix & export

Confirm tricky moves on an interactive board, then export or share the PGN.

What you get

Built to get the moves right

ChessScribe pairs AI handwriting recognition with a real rules engine, so your scoresheet becomes a clean, playable game.

AI + rules engine

State-of-the-art AI reads the handwriting; a real chess engine checks every move for legality — so you get a clean, playable game, not a guess.

Edit right on the board

Tap a move to jump to that position; play the correct move to overwrite or insert it.

Automatic result

Checkmate, stalemate, and draws are detected and filled in for you.

Export anywhere

Save a .pgn file or share it — import straight into your favorite analysis tools.

Private by design

No sign-in, no ads

Your saved games and scoresheet images stay on your device — the only thing sent off your phone is the photo you scan, used solely to read the moves. See our Privacy Policy.
