Label Mate
Vinyl record scan & playback
Free · In‑App Purchases
Scan a vinyl record label with your camera and instantly hear the music. Label Mate uses on-device OCR to read the text on any record label, identifies the artist and tracks, and
plays them through Apple Music — no typing, no searching. Made by a vinyl DJ for vinyl DJs.
Built for DJs, collectors, and anyone who's ever stood in a record store wishing they could just hear what's in the bin, *before* they buy.
HOW IT WORKS
Hold your phone over a record label. Label Mate reads the text across multiple camera frames, builds consensus for accuracy, and matches against a catalog of millions of vinyl releases. When it finds a match, playback starts automatically. Also works with barcodes and most LP front covers.
