Train My Camera helps shops and small teams turn a camera into a practical visual product lookup tool. Create a team catalog, add items with example photos, and scan products from an iPhone or iPad to find the closest matches. Results can show item names, details, categories, and barcode or POS product IDs when available. Use it for inventory, shop-floor product lookup, catalog building, and quick recognition of visually similar items such as artwork, ceramics, wool products, postcards, stickers, and other retail goods. The app connects to the Train My Camera web service at trainmycamera.com. A camera permission is required for live scanning, and sign-in is required to access your team catalog.
