vhs.tools

The Shiny

Point your camera at a shelf of VHS tapes. vhs.tools processes the image, identifies each tape, and outputs structured data to build your digital library. In-browser computer vision handles barcode detection and cover framing with corner detection.

The Hard Stuff

The core challenge: taking a messy real-world image (reflections, angles, worn labels) and producing clean structured data. Uses Gemini’s structured_outputs to guarantee schema-compliant catalog entries from unstructured visual input. Browser-side computer vision provides real-time barcode detection and cover framing without server roundtrips.

Entirely developed with Claude Code — zero lines of code written by hand.
