Problem:
Listing large Pokémon card inventories manually was slow and error-prone. Each card required manual input for name, set, etc.
Solution:
We developed an OCR-powered system that identifies TCG cards from scans (Document Scanner, Pictures with Smarpthone), matches them to a database. The system uses Tesseract OCR & Azure Computer Vision for image recognition.
Key Features:
• Dual OCR pipeline (Tesseract + Azure Vision)
• Automated card lookup via TCG API
• Review queue for low-confidence scans
• Auto-listing to Shopify with title, rarity, set & price
• Error handling and manual approval interface
Results:
• 97% faster product listing workflow
• Human review ensures 100% data accuracy
• Supports bulk imports for large collections
• Greatly improved speed and consistency in catalog updates
