RollSight dice tray camera in use - dice rolling on gaming desk

Roll for Real

Your dice rolled on your online table

RollSight is a free automatic dice reader that uses your camera to read physical dice and send rolls to Foundry VTT, Roll20, and Discord.

Free to use; subscriptions only for premium extras

Foundry VTT, Roll20, and Discord work today. Roll20 uses a browser add-on. Optional replay features depend on your plan and setup.

You supply the camera. Phone, USB webcam, a desk document camera such as the IPEVO V4K, or our free 3D-print Dragon Rig files all work.

Keep your favorite dice. No special dice to buy. The more people play, the easier reads get for everyone.

How it works

Three steps: aim a camera, roll, and let your online group see the same numbers you do at the desk. The app is free to use; create a free account when you first open it.

Use real dice online for D&D, Pathfinder, and other tabletop RPGs. RollSight provides camera-based dice recognition on Mac and Windows, turning a webcam or connected phone camera into a dice scanner for your virtual tabletop.

Step 1

Point a camera at your dice tray

Phone, webcam, document camera (e.g. IPEVO V4K), or DIY Dragon Rig. You bring the camera; many options work. No hardware purchase from us required.

Step 2

RollSight reads the tray

The app watches the camera feed and reads each roll as it happens. Check the result and correct any misreads before sending.

Step 3

Your table sees the result

RollSight sends each roll to Foundry VTT, Roll20, or Discord today. More online tabletop apps are on the way.

Pick a camera that fits your desk

RollSight is software only - you pick the camera. Most people start with a phone on a stand or a webcam they already own: aim straight down, add a little light, and you are rolling in minutes. When you want a sharper overhead picture, a document camera like the IPEVO V4K or a DIY Dragon Rig are great next steps.

Start here

Phone + mount

Clamp or stand your phone over the tray. Works with iPhone on Mac and Android on Mac or Windows. A simple desk mount plus our walkthrough is enough for many tables.

USB webcam

Many players already own a 1080p webcam. Add a stable mount and aim it straight down at the tray - our webcam guide lists solid models and placement tips.

IPEVO V4K document camera

Plug-in USB document camera with a crisp top-down view, solid in dim rooms, and simple plug-and-play setup on Mac or Windows. Great when you want the clearest overhead shot without a DIY build.

Won't be great

  • Low-resolution or very old webcams

    Below 720p or poor low-light performance

  • Built-in laptop cameras

    Usually fixed angle and too far from the tray

  • Poor lighting conditions

    Dim or uneven light makes reads unreliable; add a lamp or brighten the room for best results.

Why players use RollSight

Reading your dice and sending rolls to your game stays on the free plan. When something is a Champion or Party extra, we call that out. Honest notes on which games we support today and what is still on the way.

Your dice, your table

Use the sets you already own. Correct misreads to save examples of your dice; unusual faces may need several views. No special shop-only dice required.

Shows up in your game

Foundry VTT, Roll20, and Discord are available now. Compare setup, supported features, and limitations.

RollSight Replay

Save a short clip of the dice leaving your hand and landing on the tray. In Foundry, players can tap to open the replay under the roll so the table can see what the camera saw. Champion and Party include online storage for replays.

See how your dice behave

Wonder if a die is streaky or fair? RollSight charts your results over time next to what fair dice would look like.

One link for your rolls

Share a personal page with stats from one night or your lifetime rolls so friends can see how the dice treated you.

A photo library that grows

Thousands of community photos of dice faces help reads stay steady. When you teach your set, you help the next person with a similar look.

Stream-ready replays

Give OBS a private replay link for each player. Each new replay plays once, then clears to a transparent background without sharing the camera.

Gets smarter as you play

Quick corrections save examples for your profile. Strong matches can help later reads; recognition of unfamiliar dice and changed angles is still being improved.

Everyone makes it better

Each time you fix a misread or train a new set, the whole community gets a little sharper. More tables mean smarter reads for the next person with similar dice.

56K+

Dice photos in the library

Crowdsourced from real tables

12K

Rolls read so far

Climbing as more groups play

Step 1

Share photos

Save photos of your dice faces so the next person with a similar set can start closer to accurate reads.

Step 2

Teach your dice

Walk through a short on-screen flow so the app learns odd fonts, symbols, or custom molds you care about.

Step 3

Benefit

Your corrections ripple outward: fewer double-takes at the table and faster setup for the next player with a lookalike set.

One shared library of dice faces

Think of it as a photo album every player adds to. Your sessions grow the library, and the library makes the next session faster for you and for anyone rolling similar dice.

Built together. Your training time pays forward.
