Inspiration

Taking pictures of notes in a big lecture is common for college students. But they really struggle when scanning through their album to find the notes they want. And sometimes they couldn’t even read their prof’s handwriting… For student sick absence, it is also challenging how do they find quality notes from their classmates.

What it does

The user can choose to upload an image and the detector will classify the image as a notes(text) image or not, and also transcribe the written text to typed text and print it on the screen.

How I built it

The mobile app was built with Android Studio in Java. The core detecting functionality was implemented through Google Vision API calls.

Challenges I ran into

The configuration of Google Cloud Vision API library and merging the detection calls to the main activity.

What's next for Notes Snap

As for the classifier functionality, the user should be able to upload an album and filter out the notes pictures to a new album.
