InstaSnap

A React-JS app built with React-Native, Expo and Google Cloud libraries.

What is it?

• An experiment in using Google Cloud Services and optical processing
• The idea is to have an app that can take pictures of notes on a board/screen, then generate a text file of the writing detected in the image
• The option to export these text files to Google Drive

TO-DO

• Integrate the image processing tool into the main app
• Display a gallery of pictures taken through the app
• Display a list of text files generated by the app
• Add a tutorial on the Home Screen swiper interface

Completed

• Tested Google Cloud's API for image processing, proven successful to generate text files based on supplied images
• Added a basic Camera tab to the main app, this is where pictures can be taken and are saved
• Added swiper interface on Home screen
