Scoreboard OCR: Automated Real-Time Scoreboard Data Extraction

Eliminate manual data entry and human error from your live sports broadcasts with Scoreboard OCR. This powerful software uses advanced Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology to “read” the physical scoreboard in your venue via a camera feed and convert that visual information into real-time digital data for your graphics system.

Why Choose Scoreboard OCR?

In the world of live sports, speed and accuracy are everything. Scoreboard OCR works by capturing a video feed of any physical scoreboard—regardless of the brand or model—and instantly extracting scores, game clocks, shot clocks, and period data. It seamlessly connects this data to popular streaming and broadcast software, ensuring your viewers always see the most accurate information without a dedicated operator.
