Inspiration

As college students, we see that we often forget what we have bought until it has expired, and thereby wasting food and money.

What it does

The app takes an uploaded picture. The Flask and Python script backend then use Tesseract-OCR to get text from the receipts. It currently just outputs this text on the following page.

What's next for What's in my Fridge?

We have plans to update it with a more user-friendly and less eye-sore UI. We also want to implement user authentication and have more personalized settings for each user. We will also use a database such as Firebase to store these receipt entries. Our current client-server structure of the code allows us to easily implement these features in the near future.
