Designed for real-world vehicle logging
PlateVision AI is useful for anyone who needs to capture UK registrations quickly and keep organised records. Scan plates from the live camera, confirm the result, attach a vehicle photo, save the record, look up DVLA details, mark important vehicles as favourites, filter your history, and export your data when needed.
Find important plates faster
Mark saved plates as Favourites and instantly filter History to show only the records that matter most. Favourite status is also included in PDF and CSV exports, making your exported records easier to review.
Smarter filters
Narrow down saved records using favourite status, DVLA tax status, or vehicle colour. Quickly find taxed, untaxed, specific-colour, or priority vehicles without digging through your full scan history.
Smarter scanning
PlateVision AI detects plates before running OCR, improving the scanning flow and helping reduce missed or inaccurate reads. Enable the optional blue AI detection box if you want to see what the machine learning model is tracking while you scan.
Scan from further away
The 2x optical scanning mode helps capture plates from greater distance on supported devices. This is ideal when you need a clearer view without standing as close to the vehicle.
Built for privacy
PlateVision AI is designed around local recognition and user control. Scanning is handled on-device, and your saved records stay on your iPhone unless you choose to export them.
PlateVision AI is free to download and use, with an optional subscription to unlock the full feature set.
