This program uses the camera to recognize Chess Figures in books using optical character recognition. It saves each recognized figure in a pgn file, and also puts the most recent one in the clipboard as a FEN string. You can then invoke a chess program like DroidFish, or SCIDOnthego directly to analyze the position or do a data base search for games that contain this position. For best results the figure should take up at least half the camera view, and the book be reasonably flat (some warp is compensated for).

Recently changed in this version:
This is release 1.0 and is a demo only. It always shows the recognized figure, but only saves the first four figures. Thereafter the recognized figures are no longer saved but are shown. I plan to sell a non-demo version if there is enough interest. Please look at the video and the help menu item to understand the program operation in more detail. Comments and e-mails are welcome.
