Do I need barcode labels to use WIPI?

No. WIPI identifies items from the photo itself, so unlabelled belongings, tools and materials can be cataloged as they are.

Can WIPI recognize more than one item in a photo?

Yes. A single photo of a shelf or box returns a list of detected items that you review before saving.

What if an item is identified incorrectly?

Every row in the review list can be edited inline or removed, and a removal can be undone within five seconds.

Catalog items from a photo

Point the camera at a shelf, a box or a whole room. WIPI identifies the items it can see, proposes a name and category for each one, and lets you edit, deselect or add to the list before saving them all to the location you pick.

How photo capture works

Take one photo of a group of items, or scan a room to break it into storage areas.
WIPI returns a reviewable list with a suggested name and category per item.
Correct any misidentified row inline, remove rows you do not want, and undo a removal within five seconds.
Choose the destination sub-location and save the whole batch at once.

What it captures

Item name and suggested category
Quantity where several of the same item are visible
Condition notes you add during review
The photo itself, attached to the item record
