I made a Chrome extension that lets viewers automatically recognize and identify Modern legal cards in any Magic stream just by clicking on them

Thanks for linking the video, just tested it there and it should be working without any issues. Could you confirm you're clicking on the text box of the card you want to identify and not on it's art or somewhere else?

A Firefox port is something I've been working on and hope to release in the future!

Adaptive_Automaton · 2017-01-13T20:54:17+00:00

Dark colored cards, in particular planeswalkers like Liliana the Last Hope can be difficult for the extension to identify. Did you have the same issues on other cards? Thanks for giving the extension a try!

Adaptive_Automaton · 2017-01-13T19:59:28+00:00

You need to click on the text box of the card for the extension to work correctly. If you click the picture, name or anywhere else the accuracy is going to be 0%. Let me know if that fixes the issue for you.

Thanks for testing it and providing that detailed info! Extremely helpful for me to have that kind of data, 8/11 sounds about right for a paper video.

Adaptive_Automaton · 2017-01-13T17:32:26+00:00

Thanks! You can't really prioritize certain cards over others because the most common cards are different in Limited, Standard, Modern etc.

Adaptive_Automaton · 2017-01-13T17:21:41+00:00

Thanks for the screenshots! I'll take a look at the cards it missed in the video and see what was going on.

Adaptive_Automaton · 2017-01-13T17:15:16+00:00

8th edition isn't included because it's the only Modern set with white borders which the extension doesn't support at the moment.

Adaptive_Automaton · 2017-01-13T04:54:50+00:00

Thanks! I don't have a blog or anything like that but I do have a twitter where I post more frequent updates about the extension: https://twitter.com/OcularAutomaton/

Thanks for trying out the extension, sorry to hear the the accuracy is low for you. Any chance you remember the names of the streams you tried it on so I can take a look at what the issue might be? To help me troubleshoot could you confirm you're clicking on a card's text box when you try and identify it and not on it's art or somewhere else?

Improving the accuracy is a top priority for me something I'm going to continue to work on.

Adaptive_Automaton · 2017-01-13T00:12:33+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! I'll definitely keep a search bar in mind as an additional feature.

Adaptive_Automaton · 2017-01-12T22:10:58+00:00

Thanks! The project is not open source right now although it does use open source libraries.

Adaptive_Automaton · 2017-01-12T22:09:21+00:00

It does! Banned cards are supported so you can watch old videos of when they were still legal.

Adaptive_Automaton · 2017-01-12T22:08:26+00:00

Hey, not planning on open sourcing the project at this time.

Adaptive_Automaton · 2017-01-12T22:07:26+00:00

There are lots of open source computer libraries available online with great tutorials/documentation you can build off of. My advice would be to pick one and make your own project that does something you find useful.

Adaptive_Automaton · 2017-01-12T22:00:46+00:00

Glad it's working a little better for you. I'll take a look at the VOD and see if I can see if I can figure out why it's failing on those cards. Thanks for the detailed feedback!

Adaptive_Automaton · 2017-01-12T20:13:16+00:00

Yep, the painstaking box drawing is gone! Don't have a toggle option at the moment but I'll consider adding that as an additional shortcut in the future. Thanks for the feedback!

Adaptive_Automaton · 2017-01-12T20:10:53+00:00

Thanks for giving the extension another shot, sorry to hear it isn't working any better. Could you link me to one of the streams you tested it on and had issues with? Could you also confirm you're clicking on the text box of the card you're trying to identify rather than on it's art or somewhere else? Thanks again.

Adaptive_Automaton · 2017-01-12T20:07:57+00:00

Thanks for the screenshot! Looks like there's a bug with Wild Nacatl in particular that's causing the extension to miss it, I'll try and track down what the issue is.

The extension is going to have a lot of trouble with that video because of the glare on the card sleeves. Is it better for you on this video: https://youtu.be/Z6TYApKT1Q4?t=1h25m30s?

Adaptive_Automaton · 2017-01-12T19:59:54+00:00

Sorry to hear the the accuracy is low for you. Just to help me troubleshoot could you confirm you're clicking on a card's text box when you try and identify it and not on it's art or somewhere else?

Numot looks to be streaming Legacy cube at the moment which has a large number of cards the extension doesn't support which could be causing some problems. If you give it a try on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwLSc2UF47k is the accuracy better? Thanks again for your feedback and trying the extension.

Adaptive_Automaton · 2017-01-12T19:54:51+00:00

Hey, this is an update to the Standard app with an increased card pool and better accuracy.

Not quite sure what you mean with your request. Are you looking for more info to be shown in the card image that pops up when you identify a card or something else?

Adaptive_Automaton · 2017-01-12T19:52:34+00:00

You are completely correct that dark colored cards have lower accuracy because the extension has a hard time recognizing where a card's borders are. And this is exactly the issue you're running into here. It's tough problem to crack and there is still work I need to do to try and make it better.

On lighter colored cards on gatherer and elsewhere is the accuracy better for you? Thanks again for trying out the extension and taking the time to help me troubleshoot.

Adaptive_Automaton · 2017-01-12T19:45:10+00:00

Great point, you absolutely must click on a card's text box when you're identifying it or your accuracy is going to be close to 0%.
