Notamate

Notamate is an AI-powered tool that converts handwritten chess score sheets into PGN notation, eliminating the tedious manual process of transcribing tournament games. Players photograph their score sheet after a game, and Notamate uses advanced OCR and AI to produce a clean, playable PGN file within seconds.

Once converted, the PGN is fully editable in Notamate's built-in interface, which includes live move validation and illegal move detection. Corrections are easy to make before exporting, and the platform offers one-click integration with Lichess and Chess.com, so players can jump straight into post-game analysis without any copy-pasting or manual input.

The tool supports multi-page score sheets, cloud storage for all uploaded sheets and generated PGNs, and is available in 9 languages including English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Czech, and Slovak.

Notamate offers a free plan with 3 conversions per month, which covers casual use after club games or tournaments. The Pro plan at $29.98 per year raises the limit to 500 pages per month, making it practical for active tournament players and coaches managing multiple students' games.
