About

The Tapewrm project is an initiative born out of a passion for VHS collecting and a desire to make cataloging easier. The tool uses the power of OCR (Optical Character Recognition) trained against hundreds of photos of VHS shelves to identify and extract the titles of tapes from photos of your collection.

YOLO annotated VHS shelf

Simply snap a photo of your VHS shelf and let Tapewrm do the rest as it extracts individual spines, reads the titles and consults with AI to cleanup any OCR errors, with the option to organize everything into a neat digital catalog that you can copy, paste, sort, and share as you please.Try it out!
