Why TarkoScanner is NOT a cheat and doesn't violate EFT's Terms of Service
TarkoScanner operates entirely outside of Escape from Tarkov. Unlike overlays or injection tools that interact with the game, our scanner uses screen reading technology (OCR) to read publicly visible information from your screen - the same information your eyes can see.
Key Point: We don't modify, hook, inject, or interact with the game process in ANY way. We simply read pixels from your screen - just like you would manually look at a tooltip and search the price on tarkov-market.com.
Battlestate Games prohibits overlays that draw on top of the game window. TarkoScanner does NOT use game overlays. Instead, it creates a separate, independent window that displays price information. This window is not attached to or injected into Tarkov's game process.
✓ Separate application window
✓ Not rendered inside Tarkov
✓ No DirectX/OpenGL hooks
✓ No process injection
Our scanner uses Optical Character Recognition (OCR) - the same technology used by document scanners and accessibility tools. We take a screenshot of a small area around your mouse cursor and read the text using Windows OCR or Tesseract.
✓ Screenshots publicly visible pixels
✓ No memory reading
✓ No packet sniffing
✓ No game file access
All price information comes from tarkov.dev - a public, community-maintained API. The same prices are available on websites like tarkov-market.com, tarkov-tools.com, and many others. We're simply automating what you could do manually.
✓ Same data as public websites
✓ No privileged information
✓ No server interaction
✓ Offline-capable with cache
According to Battlestate Games' License Agreement (Section 3.2), prohibited software includes tools that modify game files, use overlays, automate gameplay, or access game memory. TarkoScanner does none of these things.
✓ No game file modification
✓ No automation/macros
✓ No memory reading
✓ No competitive advantage
Because TarkoScanner operates entirely outside the game (like having a second monitor open with tarkov-market.com), there is nothing for anti-cheat to detect. We don't hook into the game, access protected memory, or modify any processes.
✓ No game process interaction
✓ No kernel drivers
✓ No suspicious behavior
✓ Safe to stream/record
TarkoScanner is an information display tool - like having a price guide open on your phone or second monitor. It provides publicly available market data in a convenient format. It does NOT:
❌ Show enemy positions
❌ Modify damage/health
❌ Auto-aim or recoil control
❌ Show hidden loot/items
❌ Provide radar/ESP
Using TarkoScanner is like using a calculator during a math test where calculators are allowed. You still need to know which items to loot, how to survive raids, and make strategic decisions. The tool simply saves you from Alt+Tabbing to tarkov-market.com every 30 seconds.
Compare this to an aimbot (actual cheat software) which plays the game FOR you by automatically aiming at enemies. TarkoScanner doesn't play the game - it just displays information you could get elsewhere.

Section 3.2 (Prohibited Actions):
"...use of overlay software, modification of game files, automation tools, memory reading/writing, or software that provides unfair advantages..."
✓ TarkoScanner does NONE of these prohibited actions.
We read screen pixels (publicly visible) and display publicly available market data in a separate window.
Tools like ours have been used in the Tarkov community for years without bans. Similar tools include:
Our scanner automates looking up prices on these websites - nothing more. If using tarkov-market.com on a second monitor is allowed (which it is), then automating that lookup is also legitimate.
While we firmly believe TarkoScanner is 100% legitimate and compliant with EFT's Terms of Service, we are not affiliated with Battlestate Games and cannot provide legal guarantees. We've designed this tool to operate passively, using publicly available information and screen reading technology. Thousands of users rely on tools like this daily without issues. However, you should always use third-party software at your own discretion.
