How It Works

From game photos to fully captioned images in three simple steps.

Set Up Hot Folder

Point to your camera card or tethered capture folder. New images are detected automatically as they arrive during the game.

AI Identifies Players

A 7-signal identification pipeline combines face recognition, jersey number detection, play-by-play context, skin tone analysis, and more to identify every player in your photos.

Review & Write

Confidence colors — green, yellow, red — show you exactly where to focus. Edit any suggestion, then write IPTC captions directly to your image files.

Built for Sports Photography

Every feature designed for the way sports photographers actually work.

Face Recognition

Multi-model ensemble that learns player faces across games. The more you shoot, the smarter it gets.

Jersey Detection

4-source OCR pipeline reads jersey numbers from difficult angles, partial views, and challenging lighting conditions.

Wire-Ready Captions

AP, Getty, and Imagn caption styles built in. Ready for wire services instantly.

RAW + JPEG Support

Works with CR2, CR3, NEF, ARW, DNG, RAF, ORF, RW2, JPG, and TIFF.
