BottleScan enables you to take a photo of a whisky bottle at home, in a store, or wherever you are, and receive detailed insights about the whisky:
- Quickly identify which bottles are under- / overpriced
- Easily understand how highly-rated (or not) the bottle is
- We serve up additional recommended whiskies based on the bottle you've scanned
- As always, access to all of Whisky Mates' info and analytics is just a tap away
BottleScans are auto-saved and accessible at any time:
- Tap the "Purchased" button on any whisky to keep track of what you liked (you can input your own ratings and commentary)
- We keep track of how much you've saved, stores where you purchased whiskies, etc. with Savings
- World travelers: we do all the bottle price conversion for you, and can report out savings in your home currency
- Add whiskies to your Favorites, Whishlist, or Collection while you're sipping so you never forget a dram
- Tap the icon (Red Marker, like you're a fourth grade teacher correcting a math test) link if we've served you up the wrong whisky to either swap it out, or request a new Whisky Mates whisky
How it works - the nerdy stuff:
- You are prompted to provide temporary access to your camera (not your photos (!), we just use the camera to take the picture)
- We use OCR, machine learning, and AI (yes, real AI) to process the image and identify whisky types, names, and prices
- We fuzzy match that info to whiskies in our system
- We display recommended whiskies based on over 25 attributes in the bottle of whisky you scanned
- Over time, the actions you take with WhiskyScan will help us improve our recommendations even more
