AI rowing video analysis · erg, on-water and crews

±62 ms against Stroke

A coach can watch one rower at a time. A phone can watch the whole boat. Mocta-X turns every stroke it sees into one clear thing to fix.

Film any piece

Erg, single or eight. Side-on, on the phone you have.

Graded stroke by stroke

Catch, drive, finish and recovery, each one scored.

One thing to fix

Ranked by the points it costs, with a cue to row.

Built for crews

Every seat timed against stroke, every athlete in one room.

Built for rowing first. The same engine grades running gait and golf swings.
Capture

Film it on the phone you already own.

Prop the phone side-on and press record. Mocta-X finds the athlete, tracks every major joint through the clip and checks the footage is good enough to grade before it scores a single stroke.

  • Any phone camera. No markers, no sensors
  • Erg, single sculls and full crews
  • A capture check runs before any grade
  • Clips are private to your account
Grade

Every stroke gets a grade.

Each stroke is split into catch, drive, finish and recovery and scored against target bands from rowing research. The weights are published, so a grade is never a black box.

  • Catch, drive, finish and recovery, scored
  • Every checkpoint against its target band
  • Weights open in the scoring guide
  • No grade where the clip can't support one
Coach

One thing to fix, and the frame that proves it.

The AI coach reads every graded stroke before it says a word. It ranks faults by the points they cost, gives you one to work on with a cue to row by, and cites the stroke and frame behind each claim.

  • Ranked by the points at stake
  • Cites the stroke and the frame
  • A drill and a cue for each fault
  • A PDF report to hand to your coach
Crew

Eight seats. One boat. Measured together.

Film the boat side-on and Mocta-X tracks every rower, names each seat and times every catch against Stroke. Coaches see who is early, who is late and who to fix first, with the whole squad's sessions in one film room.

  • Every seat tracked and named
  • Each catch timed against Stroke
  • A crew sync score out of 100
  • One film room for the whole squad

Technology

Built like an instrument.

A phone clip goes through the same five steps every time, on our servers, in about the time the piece took to row.

  1. 01
    Find
    8 rowers · seats named

    Finds the athlete, or every rower in the boat, and holds on to each one through the clip.

  2. 02
    Track

    Zooms in on each athlete and reads every major joint at full resolution, so a sculler filmed from the bank reads as cleanly as an erg.

  3. 03
    Check
    Side-on
    Distance
    Feet in shot
    Strokes to grade

    Corrects every angle for the camera's shape and checks the footage. Too far, too angled or feet out of shot, and it says so instead of scoring.

  4. 04
    Grade
    Stroke 1 · four phases
    CatchDriveFinishRecovery
    Every stroke, graded

    Splits each stroke into catch, drive, finish and recovery, and scores every check against target bands from rowing research.

  5. 05
    Explain
    Coach's read

    The coach queries the graded numbers before it writes, then cites the stroke and the frame behind each claim.

Accuracy

Measured, not eyeballed.

A score is only worth chasing if it means the same thing tomorrow. So we re-grade our own sessions, check the numbers against a lab, and refuse to grade footage we can't read.

Repeatability
2.6points

The average change when the same clip is graded again. Across all 57 stored rowing sessions, re-grading used to move a score by up to 24 points. Now the worst case is 3.

Re-film with the whole slide and both feet in frame.

A clip that fails the check gets what to fix, not a number it can't support. An example of the check; it also looks at the stroke count.

runners behind the running targets

Published equations, fitted to your sex, age, height and pace instead of one band for everyone.

2.2°
error we refused

Re-encoding a clip shifted knee angles by 2.2°, so the grading path never re-encodes your video.

Open
every weight and band, published

The scoring guide lists every check, its target band and how much it counts. No black box.

Internal measurements, not peer-reviewed results. The running cohort is from the Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, 2023 (n = 860). Methods, sources and limits are on the technology and accuracy page.
