A browser tool and mobile app that extract numbers from screenshots or photos, then verify formats with check digits where possible.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-10 issue.

Field notes

The browser workflow accepts a screenshot or photo and runs recognition locally in the tab, downloading an approximately 7 MB engine on the first scan. SwipeScan separates extraction from verification: IMEIs are checked with Luhn, VINs with mod-11, and IBANs with mod-97, while meters and serial numbers are reported without a false confirmation. The site also describes a mobile swipe gesture that places the result in the clipboard.
