Hi,
does anyone have experience with scanning games?
I am not worried about diagrams just the text, I am trying to minimise the manual corrections.
I was wondering if anyone has recomendations.
Thanks
Shaun

Thanks...
I am currently using FineReader 6 (came with my scanner) - I just wondered if any OCR was better than any other for chess, or if any OCR software can be 'trained' to recognise the stlye of input.

Are you talking about scanning game scoresheets?
I have a load* of A4 sheets with games from a tournament, I asked if I could have the games electronically but they are not available. I need to enter the games manually or scan - just trying to automate as much as possible.
I have played with a trial Abbyy 11, even getting it to learn by importing pgn games as a language but I still get corrections that 'do not help'. Currently I think it would be similar effort to enter manually.
People must have scanned from books etc so I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for the best method/tools to use.
* approx 24 sheets x 13

This sounds difficult. Most of the OCR I've ever used involved the recognition of printed, not handwritten text.
Sorry I did not make it clear - it is typed. I am not happy that they will not provide the pgns - given we already paid £26 for the printed versions.

That is pretty unfriendly of them.

I feel your pain!
Hi Shaun, this app can perfectlly serve you.
Chessfimee allows to scan chessboards using OCR(optical character recognition) technology. You can use your phone camera to take a photo of a chess diagram from books, papers, even LCD screens(PDFs, other sources) or you can use photos from your phone gallery then scan and analyse the position(using stockfish chess engine). Also you can share the chess position (FEN) with other chess applications.
An iOS version will be coming soon. Good luck!

This is an astoundingly old post but if anyone comes across this that means they are looking for something that scans their scoresheets. CheSScan is one such app and is only available on App store as of now.
