Inspiration
My main inspiration comes from Google Lens,
A Google AI App for taking pictures and searching for them online.
What it does
It eliminates the stress of having to type by allowing you to take pictures and letting it extract the text on the pictures for you.
It allows you to extract text from pdf files too,
But only small-sized pdfs.
How we built it
It was built using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with an API for extracting text from images or pdf files.
Challenges we ran into
I faced issues when trying to convert the snapped pictures from canvas to a file object.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Am proud I was able to finish up just in time and that I didn't face any major issues
What we learned
I learned how to convert canvas objects to file objects in JavaScript
What's next for TextCam
