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

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.

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

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.

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

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