How I built it

The project built with React Native, Node JS, Express js, and Einstein API. The backend API has been deployed with Heroku.

The core of this application is Salesforce Einstein Vision. In particular, we are using Einstein OCR (Optical Character Recognition), which uses deep learning models to detect alphanumeric text in an image. You can find out more info about Einstein Vision here.

Essentially, we've created a backend api service that takes an image request from a client, uses the Einstein OCR model to extract text from the image, compares it to our dataset of chemical details (ex. toxicity, allergy, etc.), and sends a response containing the comparison results back to the client.
