When automatic detection misses a symbol, you build it yourself. Tap an unassigned cell and the app shows every cell that looks like it. Fine-tune how strictly it matches, hand-pick cells, then save. A new symbol can even populate itself across every page.

Start from Set Symbols: tap any empty (unassigned) cell to open Add mode. The matching sliders are shared with Symbol Search.

Building the Symbol

Start adding

[Screenshot: Add mode open after tapping an empty cell, with the match results grid and sliders]

Tap an empty cell to begin building a new symbol from it. Any missed cell can become a proper symbol.
Match results
A grid shows every cell the app thinks matches, ranked by how closely, with a running count.
Include / exclude cells
Tap cells on the chart to add them to the new symbol or drop them from it. Hand-pick exactly which cells belong.
Save / Cancel
Keep the new symbol, or discard it and go back to browsing. Commit only when it looks right.

Tuning and Speeding Up

Match sensitivity
A primary slider sets how close a match must be, with an optional second filter slider. Results re-search live as you move them, and your settings are remembered. Full guide.
Icon or colour first
Choose whether matching leads on the symbol's shape or its colour. Colour-first is disabled on black-and-white charts.
Apply to all pages
Optionally have the app search every page for the new symbol as you save it. Mint a symbol once and populate it across the whole chart.
Auto-save on tap
Optionally commit the symbol and jump straight to building the next one as you tap, skipping the Save button. Race through charts with one cell per symbol.
Collapse panel
Fold the search panel away to see more of the chart while staying in Add mode.

Did you know?

  • There is no symbol bank, on purpose. Every symbol is taken from your own chart image, so the matches always look exactly like your chart, not like a generic font.
  • Watermarks on the page image can get picked up as cells. The search makes it easy to include any affected symbols in one pass instead of fixing them one by one.
  • Wrong cell in the results? Just tap it on the chart to exclude it. Your hand choices always win over the sliders.
