Choose your photos. Every character they show is read and put in front of you to confirm, change or reject. What you approve becomes a clear description, ready to use. Nothing is guessed.

Help build the foundation

Every description is built from the site's list of characters and their values. The better the list, the better every description. A source for everything; nothing is changed or deleted, a correction is added beside what it corrects.
