Import Game State From Image

I would like to put forwards a use case that I've run into many times over the past few months: I'm watching a chess video or stream, something from a tournament or a breakdown, and there's a line that gets played or talked about where I want to go into analysis mode with the engine and follow some of the connected lines and see what some of the consequences are when I don't quite follow all of the ideas. Right now, when this happens, I open the app, go to analysis mode, set up position, clear the board, and then go back and forth getting things in place. This has been a good exercise for me helping with my visualization and remembering pieces in significant relationships, but at this point, I do wish I could just screenshot the footage containing the game, submit the screenshot via the app, and have a pre-trained local or remote model do object recognition and take a best-effort shot at replicating the position on the analysis board for me. I understand that this might lower the bar to entry for impulse cheating for some players, though I don't think this would lead to any significant alteration in playerbase behavior, especially if introduced silently? I guess it could also be rough to mark the app as wanting camera roll permissions on the google play/app store, and any number of other issues, but. Me and my use case would sure appreciate it.

Try chess vision app. You can load the chess position from image and then copy its FEN and paste it into lichess or chesscom. I dont remember chessvision having engine to analyse positions. Goodluck.
