Species matcher
Appearances:	DW: Vincent and the Doctor

The Visual Recognition System was a device capable of identifying the species of an individual by their image. The Doctor obtained one as a gift from his godmother, but only bothered to use it in a later regeneration.

Abilities

Using a direct image or a picture, the system was capable of identifying its species. Though it was capable of using drawings, it would be less accurate. It would then give the species' name, planet of origin and other important information. It could be both connected to the TARDIS and print out the information, or carried by the user and giving information on a screen. (DW: Vincent and the Doctor)

Identifications

• The Doctor, in person: Images of his first and second incarnations and his home planet of Gallifrey.
• A painting of a Krafayis: Identified as a parrot or a polar bear.
• A Krafayis, in person: Name, planet of origin (unknown), social structure and preferred habitat.
