Ocra | Devpost

Ocra was designed for those who find themselves constantly reading everything they can get their hands on... but who cannot always finish reading things before they must leave them behind. Our app lets users snap a picture of the text they are reading, whether it is a book, magazine article, research paper, newspaper column, flier, or billboard, and have a digital version of these media found for them within minutes, thanks to optical character recognition and intelligent search engine querying. We utilized OCR as well as some proxying techniques to assure the success of our application, and hope you will find it as useful as we do!
