SpeedShot estimates the speed of moving cars from your camera or videos, using on-device AI. Just point your phone—or pick a clip—and the AI detects cars, motorcycles, buses and trucks, estimates each one's speed, and ranks the top speeds. IMPORTANT Speed readings are AI ESTIMATES from camera video, shown for reference and fun only. They are NOT precise or official measurements, they differ from real speeds, and they must not be used for enforcement, as evidence of speeding, or as a substitute for calibrated equipment. Great for ・Quickly estimating how fast a passing car looks—right from your camera ・A rough "is that car over the speed limit?" gut-check (reference only) ・Estimating race cars and motorcycles on a track ・Putting a ballpark number on speeding-looking drivers (estimate only) Features ・Live camera estimation + analysis of recorded videos・AI auto-detects vehicles (car, motorcycle, bus, truck) ・Top-speed ranking per vehicle, overlaid on the video ・Automatic road calibration—no fiddly setup ・Saves the original clip to history; tap to replay ・English & Japanese, switchable km/h and mph Three simple steps 1. Point the camera or pick a video (bundled samples included) 2. The road calibrates automatically 3. Check the top-speed ranking Privacy first—everything on device No network, no analytics SDKs, no account. Your camera video and results never leave your device. Pricing Analyze 2 videos free. From the 3rd analysis, a single one-time purchase (no subscription) unlocks unlimited analysis. Live estimation and history playback are free. Only analyze footage you have the right to use. License-plate text recognition runs on-device and is not intended to identify individuals.
