If you only want to trace veroboards (stripboards) and not full blown PCBs I made a browser tool for that: https://github.com/dvhx/stripboard2schematic

By total coincidence I have a project at the prototype stage that I will be building (hopefully starting tonight) on a strip board. Thanks!

It can be! Here's a circuit showing how the model processes "PCB tracing stands for" to output "printed":

Same here! Then I immediately thought: I wish people would stop misusing words followed by I guess I think I’m in charge of words now. Then, idly: I’m starting to resemble that “Old Man Yells at Cloud” meme

Funny things, thoughts.

Yeah, I actually have a decades-old two-layer board that I need to reproduce and I would love to be able to feed images of it into some sort of tool and have it generate a schematic (or at least a netlist) automatically.

It's not automatic, but one way I've seen people reverse-engineer PCBs (and ICs!) is to import scans of the subject in Kicad, then start tracing out the connections on screen.

You and me both. The reverse engineering tools are out there even if most of the search results are AI slop that recommends common layout tools. If I really needed the work done though I'd just pay one of the overseas services and clean up from there.

I was excited for a moment.

haha same here

Same. Those AI bros keep stealing our terminology.

ugh same here.

thought this was about tracing neural circuits in the brain and was disappointed.
