Abstract:
This paper discusses an Android application
that allows users to search for information on books
more intuitively using several methods the main one
being the use of optical character recognition (OCR) to
read the title of a book from its cover. The application
uses Tesseract OCR engine to read the text and
OpenCV image-processing library to process the image
to make it more suitable for OCR. This paper describes
the design decisions in the process of development, the
final result and the issues identified during the
development of the application.
