Inspiration

After having spent what feels like hours hunting for that one missing word to solve a puzzle, we developed this tool to quickly and easily find the missing words we were looking for.

What it does

Going into the application, you take a picture of a word search or give one from your gallery. The app then scans the word search, solves it and gives you the answer! (horizontal and vertical solutions only for now)

How we built it

Built using Google's mobile machine learning kit, and android studio.

Challenges we ran into

We had to deal with incompatible versions of multiple different modules, insufficient memory for the scanner to run, putting the code together such that it has a comprehensible UI, and attempting to produce an output including the diagonal solutions, which we weren't able to do in the end.
