Three routes bring results into Ring Reader — which one is right depends on what you have in hand: a photo belongs on the Capture page, a file on the Import page, a QR code in the scanner. Scanning paper targets is free; imports of printouts, screens and files require Plus — the free 14-day trial includes everything.
Photo → Capture page
The Capture page processes photos only — straight from the camera or from your gallery. Every photo is classified automatically; you don’t have to select anything beforehand. Ring Reader recognizes these twelve photo types:
| Photo type | What is it? | Data provided |
|---|---|---|
| Paper target strip | Your own photo of shot targets (LG, LP, KK 50m, 50m pistol; incl. Auflage) | Full shot pattern, Teiler, decimal scoring |
| Meyton printout | Printed result sheet | Rings, top-3 Teiler, ~shot pattern (reconstructed from direction arrows) |
| Meyton screen photo | Photo of the Meyton scoring screen at the range | Rings, series (incl. Teiler column) |
| Disag printout | Printed result sheet (Statistik/OpticScore/minimal) | Rings, Teiler; Statistik additionally shot coordinates |
| Disag screen photo | Photo of the Disag screen (Rückschau) — tablets too | Rings, Teiler |
| Disag ShotsApp screenshots | App screenshots (overview + series details, long screenshots too) | Rings, Teiler |
| BlackHole screenshots | App screenshots from the BlackHole app (KK 50m etc.) | Rings, Teiler, ~shot pattern (from direction arrows) |
| Meyton LogMan printout (Log-Ausdruck) | Printed shot-by-shot log | Rings, Teiler, full shot pattern, shot times |
| Intarso printout (ESA2015) | Printed result sheet | Full shot pattern, Teiler, shot times |
| SKAS printout | Printed result sheet (air rifle/pistol 10m) | Rings, decimal scoring, top-3 Teiler |
| Proto-S printout | Printed result list | Rings, series |
| WM-Shot printout | Printed result list | Rings, series |
~ = approximate shot pattern — details below.
If a photo can’t be classified unambiguously, the “What’s on this photo?” dialog opens, where you pick the format manually.
SETA results are imported as a PDF via the Import page (see below).
The chapter Scan a Target shows how to take good photos.
File → Import page
The Import page processes files only — it does not accept photos. These formats are supported:
| File | System | Data provided |
|---|---|---|
| .wmk / .mdb (also via URL) | WM-Shot | Full shot pattern, Teiler |
| Meyton | Rings, top-3 Teiler, ~shot pattern | |
| SETA | Full shot pattern, Teiler, shot times | |
| ABVisie Match Manager | Rings | |
| .xml | Meyton ShootMaster (SDF export) | Full shot pattern, Teiler, decimal scoring |
| .json | Disag | Full shot pattern, Teiler |
| .csv | Sport Quantum | Full shot pattern, Teiler, shot times |
| .csv | Meyton | Full shot pattern, Teiler, shot times, decimal scoring |
Scanned or image-based PDFs are automatically detected page by page and processed by the photo recognition (PDF triage) — you don’t have to do anything differently.
The chapter Import Results describes the workflows in detail.
QR code → Scanner
- Meyton: direct import via the scanner on the Capture page.
- Disag: not supported — photograph the printout instead or use ShotsApp screenshots.
- Sport Quantum: camera → web export → CSV on the Import page.
Importing via QR code shows the workflow.

- Paper target in hand? Photograph it — Capture page.

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 the positions are reconstructed from the direction arrows rather than imported as exact X/Y coordinates. For a Meyton sheet the direction comes from the arrow and the distance is estimated from the ring score; for BlackHole the distance is exact (from the Teiler) and only the direction comes from the arrow. Either way the positions are approximate.
Teiler “Top 3” means that only the three best Teiler per series are available (Meyton and SKAS printout) — no per-shot Teiler.
Self-accessible? shows whether you can get at the data yourself as a shooter — or whether you have to request the export from the range official or range operator.
