Hello everyone, Abhishek here
Showing off my Project for #devgrad2020

How I built it

I have currently used Python, OpenCV, and Tesseract for building this project.
I got to learn a lot about OCR systems and also various things related to Computer Vision, like the LTSM models used in Tesseract 4.0 and above. Right now, I have added script which takes an example image as input and prints out the recognized characters on the terminal.

To-Do

I'm also planning to work with tesseract.js and build a full featured web app in the future with what I have learned from this project.

Hi, I like your project.
I also want to ask that, Can I apply for the Github Education Yearbook 2020?
I mean Is it necessary to be a final year student?
I am in 3rd year of engineering now 🤔
