Enolisa features an AI-powered label scanning system (AI-Lisa) that analyzes photos of wine labels and auto-fills the registration form.
This page is a practical tutorial. If you need an overview of capabilities, limitations, and plans, read Wine label scanner app: overview.
Before you start
- Use a bottle with a clean, readable label.
- Make sure you have enough light and stable focus.
- Keep your internet connection active for processing.
Step 1: Access the Scanner
- Go to "My Cellar" and tap the "+" button to add a new wine.
- At the top of the form you'll see the search and scan section.
- Tap the circular button with camera icon next to the search field.
- The camera interface will open.
Step 2: Photograph the Front Label (Required)
- Point the camera at the main (front) label of the wine.
- Frame the label within the indicated area on screen.
- The label should be well-lit and in focus.
- Tap the capture button to take the photo.
- You'll see a message indicating "Front label photo".
Step 3: Photograph the Back Label (Optional but Recommended)
- After capturing the front, the app will offer to capture the back label.
- The back label provides additional information: origin, winery, grapes, producer notes, alcohol content.
- Frame the back label and capture.
- If you don't want to add it, you can skip this step.
Step 4: AI Processing
- After capturing the images, the app will show an "Analyzing image..." indicator.
- The photos are sent to Enolisa servers where AI-Lisa extracts the information.
- This process usually takes a few seconds.
Step 5: Review and Auto-fill
Once the images are processed, the form auto-fills with detected data:
- Wine name
- Winery
- Grape varieties
- Vintage
- Country of origin
- Appellation
- Alcohol content
- Wine type (red, white, etc.)
Always review the information before saving:
- The AI may make reading errors.
- Some fields may remain empty if not detected on the label.
- You can manually correct or complete any field.
Complete missing data (price, place of purchase, notes) and tap "Save Wine" to finish.
Tips for Best Results
- Good lighting: Avoid shadows and reflections on the label.
- Correct focus: Make sure text is readable before capturing.
- Complete label: Try to include the entire label in the frame.
- Back label: Whenever possible, include the back label for more information.
Troubleshooting
"Label scanning is temporarily disabled"
- This feature may be occasionally disabled for maintenance. Try again later.
"You've reached the limit of available scans"
- You've exhausted your monthly quota. Buy a scan pack or wait for next month.
AI didn't detect information correctly
- Review and manually correct fields.
- Consider taking new photos with better lighting.
- Some artistic or handwritten labels are difficult to read automatically.
