Inspiration
Inspiration came from Donald Trump's fake tweet memes :D!!
What it does
Tells you if a tweet is real or not, and lets you browse through popular memes and a messenger bot using fry.io for the same.
How I built it
Using https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract for image analysis, and generating the text from the image, then using the Twitter API to scrap through the tweets of scraped username, and using a string matching algorithm to find the percentage of the genuineness of the tweet.
Challenges I ran into
Using Tesseract to extract text which is readable and then use the algorithm to find the percentage of the genuineness of the twitter screenshot.
What I learned
Tesseract-OCR
What's next for TweetMeme
Optimizing the algorithm for better predictions and adding support for mobile screenshots and a launch on Product Hunt...
