Decodes Slow Scan Television images from audio

Features & Capabilities

Robot36 - SSTV Image Decoder Chrome extension enables seamless decoding of Slow Scan Television images directly from audio input. It supports a wide range of SSTV modes including Robot (36 & 72), PD (50, 90, 120, 160, 180, 240, 290), Martin (1 & 2), Scottie (1, 2 & DX), and Wraase SC2-180 modes. For old black and white or unsupported modes, users can view in "Raw" mode.

The extension automatically detects calibration headers and saves the decoded images directly to the "Pictures" directory, providing easy access via the built-in Image gallery. Note that starting from version 2, background decoding is no longer supported, ensuring optimized performance when actively decoding SSTV images.

User Reviews

Users praise Robot36 as a capable SSTV decoder that produces clear images and is well-suited for portable/ISS-style use, with easy saving of decoded images. However, several reviews flag bugs and instability, and note missing features such as audio-file input, pause/resume, and configurable save locations. Turkish localization is requested. Improvements in reliability, input options, and UX would broaden its appeal.

Pros

Reliable SSTV decoding from audio with clear image output.
Great for portable field use (ISS chasing) and satellite SSTV workflows.
Saves decoded images to the phone (including potential dedicated SSTV folder).
Works on a range of Android devices, including older versions.

Cons

Buggy and unstable in some cases; reports of crashes and not decoding properly.
No support for importing or decoding from audio files; input limited to live microphone input.
Missing UX/features: pause/resume control and ability to force start decoding; limited control over decoding workflow.
Localization missing: Turkish language not available.
