What it does

Easy image text extractor, you upload an image (from pc, or phone's camera)

How I built it

Using Wix Velo platform it allowed me to install google cloud vision package and storing the API key for google cloud using Wix Secrets Manager. There's a free tier and premium one, and with wix-pricing-plans im tracking each user's use using wix-data and limiting it for 4 or 200 uses for each day. Using wix upload button to store user images for processing, then deleting them later using wix media api.

Challenges we ran into

Originally I wanted to use a free and open source package Tesseract.js, but the resulting quality wasn't the best compared to google vision.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • It can read handwritings in any language.
  • Delete user submitted images after processing to not store unnecessary data and conserve privacy. ## What we learned It was the first time for me coding with Velo and using Wix, and the documentation was enough to help me get started.
