- The page claims a scan-to-debrief workflow in under 90 seconds and advertises 99.4% handwriting OCR accuracy; neither claim is independently demonstrated in the supplied evidence.
Field notes
The described parent workflow starts with a photo of a carbon scoresheet and includes notation correction, a PGN export, and a short post-round review. For coaches, the page proposes a queue of student games, annotated board review, and local-opponent preparation. It advertises specific performance figures, including 99.4% OCR accuracy, but the supplied page evidence does not show a working scanner or substantiate those figures.
