Architecture

This is a Single Page Web Application:

• Uses .webmanifest to be installable to home screen and behave as an app
• Uses file input to capture image from camera
• Uploads the image to Google Cloud Vision API which does OCR recognition
• Uses Speech API to read the content out loud
• IF Google API token is used, only Google backend is used, ensuring total independence from my backend
• If you don't want to set up a token, you can subscribe to use my backend.
• Everything is hosted by github pages. Everything in master is directly available to users.

Contributing

This is a hackish project. Please do contribute :D. The actual logic of the app is in ./app.html and ./app.js
