Generation of pgn using an image

Hello,

I am looking for an application on a computer (neither a phone nor a tablet) creating pgn from a book diagram.

For instance, I have a book with 15 diagram positions to be solved. I would like to put them into pgn without having to make it piece after piece for each...

Thanks!
LucasChess does it. Works pretty good.

You use scanner feature, and it setups the position as a FEN position that you can copy/paste to anywhere.
Thanks very much.

ChessboardCapture answers my question!
I didn't know LucasChess, so I downloaded it but how do you get this "scanner feature"? I didn't find it.

NB: Chessfimee is not for computer it seems.
You have to get version 10, and not 9. It used to be the other way around.

Tools > create your own game > config > start position

A window will appear; find the icon that says "scanner" very top right.
