Spectrle Games
2026
A daily-puzzle game paired with a print-on-demand business model. Each game shows a "Spectrle" (a spectrum of colors sampled from hundreds of frames of a film or video game) and you try to guess the title, getting hints along the way. Afterwards, you can buy a print, mug or shirt featuring this unique visual.

A native multiplatform app (Windows, iOS, Android) that listens through the microphone during a Magic game, recognizes spoken card names with a fine-tuned Whisper model plus Silero voice-activity detection and phonetic matching against the Scryfall catalog, and streams in matching cards in a continuously stacking carousel.

Create and run any kind of league: build rosters, draft players, schedule games, track standings, and see real-time updates. Drop in support for Discord integration as well.

Charles Sanford Law Office
