VoTT (Visual Object Tagging Tool) is a free and open source Electron app for image annotation and labeling developed by Microsoft.[1] The software is written in the TypeScript programming language and used for building end-to-end object detection models from image and videos assets for computer vision algorithms.[2]

## Overview[edit]

VoTT is a React+Redux web application that requires Node.js and npm.[3] It is available as a stand-alone web application and can be used in any modern web browser.[4]

Notable features include the ability to label images or video frames,[2] support for importing data from local or cloud storage providers,[3] and support for exporting labeled data to local or cloud storage providers.

Labeled assets can be exported into the following formats:

* Comma-separated values (CSV)
* Microsoft Azure Custom Vision Service
* Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit (CNTK)
* TensorFlow (Pascal VOC and TFRecords)[2]
* VoTT (generic JSON schema)[5]

The VoTT source code is licensed under MIT License and available on GitHub.[6]
