Scan a pigeon pedigree from a photo or PDF

Stop typing pedigrees in by hand. Photograph the paper, or upload a PDF from any program, and the bird and its ancestors are read automatically.

How it works

1. Take a photo of the pedigree, or upload a PDF, JPEG, PNG or WebP file of up to 30 MB.
2. It is read automatically, usually within a minute or two.
3. You see the original next to what was read. Correct anything that was misread, and ring numbers that were hard to read are marked for you to check.
4. Press Import, and the bird and its ancestors are in your loft with the family links already made.

Works with paper and with other programs

Handwritten or printed, from any club or any pedigree program: if it is a pedigree, it can be read. That makes it the quick way to bring in a bird you have just bought, or a loft's worth of paper from a filing cabinet.

It won't make a mess of your loft

Nothing is added until you have checked it. Birds you already have are matched by ring number and keep everything you have entered; only their empty fields are filled in. So scanning the pedigree of a bird with gaps fills the gaps without creating duplicates.

Tips for a good photo

Lay the pedigree flat in good light, hold the phone straight above it, and get the whole page in the picture.
