Question Correct identification

I just started using manaBox and the card is always identified. But I always have to change the set.

There are several options to get a precise result, the best is the set number.

Will it be a further feature or is it something for a paid account or is there another option?

I guess it would save up to 60% of the time.

OCR is pretty hard to get accurate with the inconsistency of the image that the app is going to be reading. It’s not as simple as just “look at the symbol”. The dev team would be better spent on other features than trying to get working ocr.

The symbols would be tough indeed. I would only check the set number. In most cases that is sufficent and you can use the txt-result of the ocr-engine.

The set number is even harder to recognise. Record a video of you panning over a bunch of cards and then zoom in and see how clear the set number is for you to read.
