WhatTheFont - Shazam for fonts! Identify fonts with your camera.

WhatTheFont uses Artificial intelligence to identify fonts in a design. Great for designers, crafters and anyone who loves typography. Perfect for when you see a great design and want to identify the fonts, or when your client sends you an image but doesn't know what fonts were used.

Simple but awesome. Great job!

Will be so glad if there is a bookmark button for fonts.

Pros:

Great UI, Easy to use & Very Fast.

Cons:

Some fonts are not identifying correctly, But still good at showing look-al-like ones.

Folks - you may also want to check out “Adobe Capture” - an iOS and Android app our teams made to identify / capture a font you like in the wild, (AND sync across Ps, Ai, etc...). It also does the same thing for colors, patterns, vector objects and brushes. Am surprised more folks don’t know about it.

Great to see how Myfonts and Monotype is upping the game. Back in 2012-13, when the Myfonts web site and platform was getting overhauled, I approached a senior developer there with an idea of crowdsourced font discovery, and he gracefully provided me with the access to their API and entire font library. With that in hand, we have developed a small app called Fontli , where the idea was similar but not with such awesome machine language capabilities. You click a picture, post it to the public and they help you identify the font. A social network for type nerds built with the Myfonts database. It was a decent hit at the time, but unfortunately we could not figure out a good business modal and it just stayed as a pet project. This is the future, and congrats to the team behind this. Hope they will build more community featrures around this. There is a great scope for a dribbble like show and tell visual network around this platform. For those interested, Fonli is at www.fontli.com (not actively supported anymore)

@rajatdeep_singh tested on few printed fonts - it seems that AI yet to be trained much better, it could not recognize default Colibri from Microsoft Excel printout

@spanarin Hey Sergey, I just tested and I was able to get it to recognize Calibri. Here are some tips that might help: make sure the crop box is only around one line of text, and try to get a photo that's straight-on and not at an angle.

@seahcb I’ve tried this way - yeah, it found Calibri but just on the fifth place - after La Veronique, Quodlibet, CP Company and Lemon Sans. But I got that I need some accuracy on making photos and selecting text on them!
