Inspiration

Writing in your chemistry lab book is HARD. Whether you're writing 2 full pages for your conclusion or simply make a lot of mistakes that you need to cross out, handwriting your chemistry labs with an ink-pen is inefficient and time-consuming.

What it does

We made a program that converts what you type on your computer into your own handwriting, then prints it onto your lab book. Since it prints in ink and mimics your handwriting, your teacher shouldn't be able to distinguish your printed text from actual handwriting.

How we built it

We wrote the program on Python, using libraries like Tkinter for the GUI and Pillow for image manipulation.

Challenges we ran into

Our program was originally split into different sections that members wrote on their own computers, and there were a few issues combining the different parts to create one unified program.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Alleviating the struggles of the Iroquois Ridge student body by increasing the efficiency and decreasing the pain of writing chemistry labs.

What we learned

While we managed to create a successful product, there is lots of room for improvement. One limit of our program is that it relies on the uploaded image following the template provided, which could be improved.

What's next for Untitled

One improvement could be using machine learning to automatically detect and map text from any image, instead of having to upload a filled out template.
