Auto-scoring is not supported on MacOS.<br \/>Android: We do not decide device compatibility in advance. On Android, when the app is opened for the first time, Dartsmind checks the Auto-Scoring AI model\u2019s speed on both the GPU and CPU. If the speed is not fast enough for real-time video processing, the device is marked as incompatible and a popup message will appear. This is not related to how old your phone is, but only to the performance of its chip.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Q: Why is Auto-scoring not performing well on my Android device?<\/strong><br \/>On Android devices, the speed and accuracy of Auto-scoring depend on the device\u2019s chip capabilities. As a result, Auto-scoring performance may vary significantly between different Android devices. Typically, high-end Android devices have better chips (such as the Samsung S23, S24, and S25 series), and the auto-scoring is noticeably faster and more accurate. Each user has 5 free Auto-scoring trials \u2014 please make full use of them before subscribing to ensure it meets your expectations.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Q: Why does my device become hot after using Auto-scoring for a while?<\/strong><br \/>Auto-scoring is an AI feature that performs real-time inference and continuous analysis on video streams, which can be demanding on the battery and processor. As a result, your device may consume battery more quickly and become noticeably warm during use \u2014 this is normal. If your device becomes excessively hot after prolonged use, we recommend taking a 5-minute break to allow it to cool down.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Q: Can I connect an external camera to the auto-scoring system?<\/strong><br \/>Currently, only USB-C iPads support external cameras, and please make sure your external camera is UVC-compatible. iPhones and Android devices do not support external cameras. Please note that some external cameras may offer lower image quality and less accurate exposure compared to the iPad\u2019s rear camera, which could reduce the accuracy of auto-scoring.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Q: How to improve the Auto-scoring accuracy?<\/strong><br \/>First, please read the in-app setup tips carefully to ensure your board and device are correctly positioned. In addition, you can further improve detection accuracy with the following suggestions:<br \/>1. Use a Blade\/<span class=\"s1\">Knife Wire Dartboard<\/span> for clearer segment boundaries.<br \/>2. Choose <span class=\"s1\">light-colored dart tips<\/span> to make darts more visible.<br \/>3. Use a <span class=\"s1\">ring light<\/span> or other consistent lighting to reduce shadows and enhance image clarity.<br \/>Following these tips will help the Auto-scoring system work more reliably. (Most users report an accuracy rate of 95%\u201399%.)<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Auto-Scoring setup examples:<\/strong><br \/>We\u2019ve put together some setup photos shared by our users to give you a bit of inspiration for your dart corner.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dartsmind.com\/index.php\/auto-scoring-setup-examples\/\">https:\/\/www.dartsmind.com\/index.php\/auto-scoring-setup-examples\/<\/a><\/p>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;Full Width Line&#8221; line_thickness=&#8221;1&#8243; divider_color=&#8221;default&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\r\n<h3>About online games<\/h3>\r\n<p><strong>Q: Why do I need coins to enable the online video connection (to see each other\u2019s dartboard)?<br \/><\/strong>Online video services are costly, and the subscription fee alone can\u2019t cover these expenses. We aim to keep the subscription fee affordable, so that more users can easily access all Pro features, including Auto-scoring. For users who do not require online video matches, there will be no additional charges, while those who wish to use this feature can purchase Coins as needed.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Q: Do I need to pay coins to using Auto-scoring in online games?<br \/><\/strong>No, Auto-scoring itself does not require coins, even in online games. However, if you want to enable the video connection feature to view your opponent\u2019s dartboard, coins are required.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Q: Who will pay the coins in online games with video connection?<br \/><\/strong>Starting from July 1st, in online video games, the 1 coin consumed per leg will be equally shared among all players who have coins. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dartsmind.com\/index.php\/update-to-coin-consumption-rules\/\">Rules &gt;<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Q: Will the VPN network affect video connections?<br \/><\/strong>If you are using a VPN that relays UDP traffic instead of forwarding it directly, video connections may fail. Please configure your VPN to forward UDP traffic directly, or try turning off your VPN.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Q: What is &#8216;Online Game Trust Score&#8217; ?<br \/><\/strong>For details about the Trust Score, please refer to the explanation in the app. There\u2019s no need to worry too much about the exact Trust Score value. A score above 85% is already good, and above 95% indicates you\u2019re a very trustworthy player. As you participate in more online matches, your score will continue to increase and can even return to 100%. The purpose of the Trust Score is to provide a general reference and to help reduce the likelihood of some users quitting mid-game.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Q: How can I hide the floating self video preview box during online games?<br \/><\/strong>Tap the \u201cCamera\u201d icon at the top-left of the page. In the pop-up menu, you can choose to hide the self video preview.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Q: Dartsmind community<br \/><\/strong>There are several wonderful communities on Facebook created and maintained by Dartsmind users, where players share their experiences and discuss various topics.
