Android OCR and a computer
Hi, I don't know exactly where to ask this but I think this subforum is the most appropriate one.
Recently, an app called PhotoMath has been released. It uses the phone camera and Android OCR APIs to recognize text and to solve simple math equations. That gave me an idea.
Going straight to the point: I own an Android phone (a Moto G running Android Kit Kat). Is it posible to use the phone's camera as an input source and have the output on the computer? I was thinking something like: I see an equation, I point the camera to it, it recognizes the text and send it to my PC (throught the internet or USB) so it can be solved e.g. a C or Python program receives it as an input, solve it and prints the result.
Is that posible?
