Import Results Plus

Besides scanning targets, you can also import results directly from other systems — for example from WM-Shot files, Meyton PDFs and XMLs.

Overview

Ring Reader offers four import routes:

• Meyton printout (photo) — Photograph printed Meyton result sheets and score them via OCR.
• WM-Shot (.wmk) — Result files from the WM-Shot software, which many clubs use for league matches.
• Meyton PDF (.pdf) — PDF result lists from Meyton shooting systems.
• Meyton XML (.xml) — XML result files from the Meyton ShootMaster (SDF export), with shot coordinates and decimal scoring.
• DISAG printout (photo) — Photograph printed DISAG result sheets and score them via OCR.
• DISAG JSON (.json) — JSON export from the DISAG system (with shot coordinates).
• Intarso printout (photo) — Photograph printed Intarso result sheets (ESA2015) — the only print format with a full shot pattern and shot times.
• ABVisie PDF (.pdf) — PDF result lists from ABVisie Match Manager.
• Sport Quantum CSV (.csv) — CSV export from Sport Quantum via QR code, with shot coordinates.

All import features are available from the Plus plan onwards. During the free 14-day trial you can try them without restriction.

What does each format provide?

Not all import formats contain the same data. The following table shows what each format provides:

Shot pattern means that the exact X/Y coordinates of each shot are imported. This allows the shot pattern, heatmap and computed precision data (group size, MPI) to be displayed.

Shot pattern ”~” means that the shot positions are reconstructed from the direction arrows on the Meyton result sheet. The positions are approximate — the direction is exact, the distance is estimated from the ring score.

Teiler “Top 3” means that only the three best Teiler values per series are available from the Meyton format — no per-shot Teiler.

Importing a Meyton printout (photo)

Got a printed result printout from a Meyton shooting system? Just photograph it — Ring Reader automatically recognizes that it’s a Meyton printout and scores it via OCR.

1. Take a photo. Photograph the Meyton printout with your phone or pick a photo from your gallery. Use the regular “Add photo” button — the same one as for target strips.
2. Start processing. Tap “Process all”. Ring Reader detects the Meyton printout automatically and starts server-side OCR processing.
3. Track progress. A card on the Capture page shows the status: “Uploading…”, “Processing…” or “Failed”.
4. View results. The detected series appear in your history. Multiple series on one printout are grouped automatically.

What gets imported: individual shot values, Teiler, point of impact (MPI), spread value, discipline, shooter name and date. Supported disciplines: LG, LP and KK.

Importing an Intarso printout (photo)

Printed result sheets from Intarso ranges (ESA2015 software) can be photographed just as easily as Meyton or DISAG printouts. Intarso is the only supported print format that prints full per-shot coordinates (X-pos, Y-pos, Teiler, angle) and a timestamp — the full shot pattern and the time between shots are available immediately after import.

1. Take a photo. Photograph the Intarso printout with your phone or pick a photo from your gallery. Use the regular “Add photo” button on the Capture page.
2. Start processing. Tap “Process all”. Ring Reader detects the Intarso printout automatically and starts server-side OCR processing.
3. Track progress. A card on the Capture page shows the status: “Uploading…”, “Processing…” or “Failed”.
4. View results. The detected series appear in your history with shot pattern, Teiler values and shot times. Multiple series on one printout are grouped automatically.

What gets imported: individual shot values (with a plausibility check against the Teiler), exact shot positions, Teiler, angle, shot times, discipline and shooter name. Supported disciplines: air rifle 10m and air pistol 10m.

Opening the import page

For the following import formats (WM-Shot, PDF, XML), tap “New” and then “Import” (target icon).

What is the start number?

The start number is assigned at electronic ranges. It identifies your firing point for the given training session or competition.

When importing WM-Shot or Meyton data, the start number filters the results so that only your series are shown. You can find your start number:

• On the printout at the range
• On the electronic range display
• From the range official or supervisor

If you don’t know your start number, leave the field blank — all shooters will then be shown, and you can pick out your series manually.

Importing a WM-Shot file

WM-Shot files (.wmk) contain results from league matches and club shoots. Here’s how to import them:

1. Select a file or enter a URL. You can upload a .wmk file directly from your device or enter the URL of a club server. Some servers are password-protected — in that case, enter the password.
2. Enter the start number. Enter your start number so Ring Reader filters your results from the file.
3. Check the preview. Ring Reader shows all the series it found, with total ring score, date and shot count. Series you’ve already imported are grayed out.
4. Select series and import. Check the boxes for the series you want to bring in and tap “Import”.

Importing a Meyton PDF

Meyton shooting systems generate PDF result lists. The process is similar:

1. Upload the PDF or enter a URL. Choose the PDF file or enter the URL. Ring Reader reads the contents automatically.
2. Enter the start number. Filter by your start number.
3. Check series and import. Multi-part series (e.g. “1/4”, “2/4”) are marked with a blue badge and are automatically combined into a group on import.

Importing Meyton XML

The Meyton ShootMaster can also export results as an XML file. These files contain, besides the ring values, the exact shot coordinates, Teiler values and tenth-ring decimal scoring — making the results more precise than a PDF import.

1. Select the XML file. Choose the .xml file from your device. Ring Reader detects the Meyton format automatically and reads the file directly in the browser — no upload to a server needed.
2. Check the preview. Ring Reader shows the series it contains, with decimal scoring and shot count. No start number is needed, since each XML file contains only one shooter.
3. Select series and import. Choose the series you want and tap “Import”. Multi-part series are automatically combined into a group.

Managing sources

If you regularly import from the same server, Ring Reader saves the source automatically. The next time you visit the import page you’ll find it in the “Saved sources” dropdown. That way you don’t have to re-enter the URL, start number and password every time.

• Select a source: Tap the dropdown and choose a saved source. All fields are filled in automatically.
• Delete a source: Tap the trash icon next to the selected source and confirm with “Yes”.
• Add a new source: Choose “New file…” in the dropdown and enter the details. After a successful preview, the source is saved automatically.

Duplicates

Ring Reader recognizes series you’ve already imported by a fingerprint (date, ring score, shots). These are shown in gray in the preview and can’t be selected again — so no duplicate entries appear in your history.
