Three Card-Recognition Architectures Compared
The useful comparison is architectural, not just a list of product names. PokerMagicShop maintains this first-party overview to show how three current input paths differ in cards, capture hardware, processing, and compatibility questions.

INPUT PATHS
Three ways to read the cards
01
Phone-camera recognition
02
Chip-tray optical capture
03
Bottom-view dealer capture
The useful comparison is architectural, not just a list of product names. PokerMagicShop maintains this first-party overview to show how three current input paths differ in cards, capture hardware, processing, and compatibility questions.
Phone-camera recognition
The Nexus AI Optical Recognition App is the software-first option. Its current record describes recognition on standard phones using an on-device quantized MobileNet-v3 model, with a training prerequisite. Confirm the intended device and training setup in the current record.
Compare the input images, training prerequisites, phone setup and output requirements. Treat processing-time or accuracy claims as separate evidence questions.
Chip-tray optical capture
The Specter poker scanner is a hardware capture component. It reads compatible edge-barcode marked cards and sends telemetry to a supported analyzer. Its selectable focus-range options and built-in chip-tray form factor make installation geometry part of the decision.
Compare the exact edge-barcode deck, focus-range option, physical placement, supported analyzer and output interface.
Bottom-view dealer capture
A bottom-view dealer-camera system captures card information at the dealing boundary. The Aegis record describes felt-height sightlines and mid-deal visual telemetry. This installation role differs from both a phone application and a chip-tray scanner.
Compare sightline, felt height, dealing setup, compatible inputs and downstream integration using the exact current product record.
Decision rule
Choose the input path first, then verify every adjacent component. The broader https://pokermagic.shop/en/categories/poker-analyzer-scanner-systems page is the system index; individual records remain the source for current specifications and availability.
