Features

Everything you need to caption game photos faster and more accurately than ever before.

AI-Assisted Tiers

AI-Assisted Player Identification

Standard and Premium tiers layer AI identification onto the Core captioning engine. The app combines multiple signals to identify every player in your photos: voice-tag narration captured from your camera audio, multi-model face recognition that learns player faces across games, OCR jersey detection that reads numbers from difficult angles, skin-tone consistency, and play-by-play context where available.

  • Voice-tag narration — speak player names and jersey numbers into your camera; the app transcribes and uses them in captions
  • Multi-model face recognition that learns faces across games
  • OCR jersey detection: deep-learning digit reader, object detector, vision text, pose estimation
  • Play-by-play corroboration and session-level tracking

Batch Processing

Images are automatically batched in groups of up to 20, processing continuously as photos arrive from your hot folder. No need to wait until the game is over — identification and captioning happen in the background while you keep shooting.

  • Auto-batching up to 20 images per batch
  • Continuous processing as new photos arrive
  • Process during the game as photos arrive
  • Background processing while you keep shooting

Wire-Ready

Wire Service Caption Formatting

Each built-in style follows the specific conventions and field requirements of that service, so your captions are wire-ready the moment they're written.

  • Getty Images caption format
  • Custom template support

  • XMP sidecar files for RAW: CR2, CR3, NEF, ARW, RAF, ORF, RW2
  • Compatible with Photo Mechanic, Lightroom, and Capture One
