ICChess is an application of OpenCV, the open source computer vision and machine learning library, and it requires the OpenCV Manager to work. Unless you have it installed from before, the app will redirect you to Google Play for download on the first start-up. It is totally free and makes sure you get the best version of OpenCV for your device.When presented with an updated position on the board, ICChess will attempt to derive the latest move by analyzing the camera feed. With the right setup ICChess can successfully record the entire game for you automatically. With the latest release you can also play against the computer, and have it speak out the response to your move by using the devices default voice synthesizer.
