Now you can count different types of objects quickly from your mobile device. Simply open the CountClusters app, take a photo of the stack you would like to count and press the “Count” button. CountClusters counts more specialized items than the other apps in the CountingThings family of apps. Using advanced computer vision technology, CountClusters tags each counted item with a number so you can easily verify and document the results. Mistakes are easy to fix. Just review the count and adjust the tags to ensure accuracy. A counting template is required for each type of item you want counted. Send us a sample of relevant photos and in many cases, we will be able to create a counting template for you. (It is not always feasible to create a Counting Template.) Get the app for free and start counting up to 10 pre-defined objects per photo to see how it works. When you are ready to use the app for your business, create an account within the app and select a plan based on the number of items you would like to count per photo.
