estimio's OCR Story Import lets you upload screenshots of your backlog (Jira boards, Excel lists, Confluence pages, whiteboard photos) and automatically extracts story titles using Tesseract.js OCR. No manual typing required. Perfect for agile teams who want to quickly convert visual story lists into planning poker sessions.
For: Agile teams, Scrum masters, product owners | Best for: Teams with visual backlogs or screenshots from planning meetings
Instead of manually typing each story title, simply upload a screenshot of your backlog, story list, or sprint board. estimio uses advanced OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology to automatically extract and format story titles.
Capture your backlog, story list, or sprint board as an image. Supported formats: PNG, JPG, JPEG.
estimio uses Tesseract.js OCR engine to extract text from your image. Processing typically takes 5-15 seconds.
The system automatically detects story titles, removes numbering (1., 2., etc.), bullet points, and other formatting artifacts.
Review the extracted titles, edit as needed, remove any false positives, and add missing stories manually.
Once you're satisfied with the extracted stories, create your planning poker session and start estimating.
