Collector guide / Direct answer
How can you scan Pokémon cards privately?
MoonTCG’s Smart Finder reads printed identity on-device and searches the strongest combination of name, set code, and collector number for you to confirm.

THE USEFUL ANSWER
What to look for
The scanner is designed around explainable optical character recognition rather than uploading a card photo to a generative model. Confirmation remains with the collector because glare and stylised card text can still misread.
WHY MOONTCG FITS
On-device text recognition.
Multiple identity hints combined for matching.
The camera image is not required after confirmation.
Scope and limitations
Scanning currently focuses on Pokémon and requires camera permission. A scan is a search aid, not authentication or condition verification.
