Multi-Card Capture

Overview

Multi-Card Capture lets you photograph multiple cards in rapid succession, then review and upload them all at once. Instead of uploading one card at a time, you can scan your entire stack in one session.

This feature is available on mobile devices from the Upload page.

How It Works

Multi-Card Capture uses a simple three-phase flow:

Phase 1: Capture

Take photos of all your cards in sequence. The recommended order is:

1. Card 1 — Front
2. Card 1 — Back
3. Card 2 — Front
4. Card 2 — Back
5. Continue for all cards...

A thumbnail strip at the bottom of the screen shows all captured photos with numbered badges. You can remove any photo by tapping the X on its thumbnail.

Phase 2: Review & Pair

After tapping Review & Pair, the app automatically pairs your photos:

• Photo 1 → Card 1 Front
• Photo 2 → Card 1 Back
• Photo 3 → Card 2 Front
• Photo 4 → Card 2 Back

Each card pair is shown with front and back thumbnails side by side. Tap any pair to expand it and access actions:

• Swap — Switch front and back images
• Retake Front / Retake Back — Re-capture a single side
• Remove — Delete the pair entirely

If you captured an odd number of photos, the last photo appears as an "unpaired" item. You can add it as a front-only card or go back to take another photo.

Phase 3: Process

Tap the Process button to upload all card pairs at once. RocketAI processes each card — extracting player name, year, set, card number, and pricing data — and adds them to your inventory.

Tips for Best Results

• Good lighting — Use natural light or a well-lit area. Avoid harsh shadows and direct glare on glossy cards.
• Contrasting background — Place cards on a surface that contrasts with the card edges (dark cards on light surface, and vice versa).
• Steady hand — Hold your phone steady or prop cards against a flat surface. Blurry photos reduce identification accuracy.
• Consistent order — Maintain strict front/back alternation so auto-pairing works correctly.
• One card per photo — Each photo should contain exactly one card. Don't group multiple cards in a single frame.

Troubleshooting

Photos aren't pairing correctly The app pairs photos in the order they were captured (1st = front, 2nd = back, etc.). If your order was different, tap each pair to swap or retake as needed.

Odd number of photos If you have an unpaired photo, you can either go back to capture one more photo, add it as a front-only card, or remove it.

Upload failed Check your internet connection and try again. If the issue persists, try uploading in smaller batches.
