Ask HN:What desktop software do you use to Tag Photos automatically?

7 pointsby phr4tsover 7 years ago
Is there a software to automatically tag photos on Windows without having to upload them to &quot;tagging-as-a-service sites?<p>I&#x27;ve got over 20k images to tag. Doing it all manually is mind numbing and time consuming.<p>I&#x27;ve tried a bunch of software but they all suck. Photoshop&#x27;s image organizer is lovely but doesn&#x27;t tag photos automatically.<p>Suggestions would be really helpful.

For what kind of tagging are you looking? Per-image labels? Single-tag-per-image? Image rectangles?<p>Most of the tagging programs I&#x27;ve encountered really aren&#x27;t that awesome. For such a relatively common task (for ML, at least), there are few, if any, really good pieces of workflow software out there.<p>I&#x27;ll forward you to the list of annotation software on Wikipedia because, as I recall, at least one of them supports machine-assist. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;List_of_manual_image_annotation_tools?wprov=sfla1" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;List_of_manual_image_annotat...</a><p>When I&#x27;m back on my home machine I can check which one it is.

Not automatic, but I like shotwell for linux because it has bulk tagging and writes then to,the image files as metadata
