When the scanner hesitates

Three candidates, a search already filled in, and the app learns from your choices. If the card does not exist, create a custom item.

· Also in Français

A hard-to-read card, a rare print or the same artwork in several languages can make recognition hesitate. The app does not guess silently: it shows you its best leads.

Step by step

  1. Under the card, three candidates appear: language, name in its original script, set, number and price. The most likely one is preselected.
  2. Tap the right line: it is picked and added in one tap.
  3. None of them? Tap "None of these". The search opens, already filled with the code and name that were read.
  4. Tap the right result. Still nothing: create a custom item, also prefilled.

The search accepts

  • names without accents;
  • the original script (Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Thai) or its Latin transcription (romaji, pinyin);
  • the set code and number, with or without the total ("040", "40/165").

Good to know

  • Your corrections count: the app gives more weight to the languages you own and correct most often.
  • Offline, search only sees the downloaded packs. The message "Searched in the offline packs only" says so: the card may exist online.
  • When the same artwork exists in several languages, the name read decides. Check the suggested language before confirming.
