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
@miltthechessmaster * Pretty App ... quick question as it looks like it does but want to confirm ... once you take a snap/scan ... you are not just getting an image correct? but rather you are able to go throught entire game back/forth per arrows yes? no?
Thx
... you get my thinking ... thus thank you! however please upon share facts list the outcome
