--Originally published at TC3045 – Hermes's Blog

Our project for the semester will be a note keeper app, this app will keep track of the notes you’ve writen as well as its classification and share these notes with other users.

First Mockup

Our note app will have the advantage that you will be able to take a photo from some text and it will extract the text from the image and put it in a note (The image will need to be clear and also be text in its most part). Imagine that a professor wrote something important in the board and then, instead of writing it down by yourself you can take a picture of the board and then have it automatially converted in a note, now you are able to share it with others.

This app will be developed by Francisco, Marco, Estefy and me.

We will be developing in native Android, and will (provably) use the Android OpenCV library and tesseract to perform the text extraction, we will create a nodejs server to share the notes. We’ll test our app following the recomendation of the android developers website.
