[Feature] OCR

[Atrate]

When edge detection is implemented, a nice to have feature would probably be some kind of OCR (optical character recognition) solution.

I am not terribly experienced as an Android developer but I can help with stuff like code cleanup and documentation

What will you be using for edge detection, gray scale, ocr, other image processing tasks?
I thought of using opencv, but the flutter plugin only works for Android right now.

Best OCR would probably be obtainable with the help of Tesseract

if we want to perform ocr we could use the API from the other webapp(textextractor) which is based on tesseract. And about the filters i was thinking of opencv too.

Please do mention on which issue you would be working on

Won't it increase the size of the application if local ocr is implemented?

[Aman-zishan]

Yes it will, that why we were planning to implement through google cloud vision API /tesseract API or simply using textextractor2 API
