MP4 / WebM / MOV — a fixed, top-down-ish view of the board works best

How this works

The four corners define a perspective transform that flattens the board into a clean 8×8 grid. The scan samples frames, finds moments when the board is still (no hands), and compares square colours between consecutive still moments. It never tries to identify piece types — it only asks which squares changed, then picks the legal move that best explains the change. Anything it gets wrong is fixable on the Review screen.

Detected moves — check & correct

Each row is one move the scan found. Low-confidence rows are highlighted — click the move dropdown to pick the right one. Everything after an edit is re-checked automatically.
