It detects and interprets handwritten text in each frame, providing visual feedback by drawing bounding boxes around recognized text and displaying the identified text.\n## Features\n\n- **Real-time Video Feed:** Displays video from the webcam with recognized text overlaid.\n- **Handwriting Recognition:** Uses EasyOCR to detect and recognize text from the video feed.\n- **GUI Interface:** Built using PyQt5 for a user-friendly interface with buttons to start/stop the video feed and exit the application.\n\n## Requirements\n\n- Python 3.12\n- PyQt5\n- OpenCV (cv2)\n- EasyOCR\n\n## Installation\n\nClone the repository:\n   ```bash\n   git clone https://github.com/sreyasaju/inscribe.git\n   cd inscribe\n   ```\nInstall dependencies:\n```bash\npip install -r requirements.txt\n```\n\n## Usage\n1. Run the application:\n   - On Linux distros / MacOS, run `python3 main.py`\n   - On Windows, run `python main.py`\n2. Position the webcam to capture handwritten text.\n3. View real-time recognition results on the displayed text field.\n\n## Interface Controls:\n\n- Click Start Video button to begin capturing from the webcam.\n- Click Stop Video button to pause the video feed.\n- Click Exit button to close the application.\n\n\u003e Add screenshot!\n\n## Dependencies\n\nThe project uses the [EasyOCR](https://github.com/JaidedAI/EasyOCR) library for handwriting recognition along with [OpenCV](https://github.com/opencv/opencv) and PyQt for video processing and the ui respectively.\n\n## License\nThis project is licensed under the MIT License.\n\n\n\n```\nMIT License\nCopyright (c) 2024 Sreya Saju\n\nPermission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy\nof this software and associated documentation files (the \"Software\"), to deal\nin the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights\nto use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell\ncopies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is\nfurnished to do so, subject to the following conditions:\n\nThe above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all\ncopies or substantial portions of the Software.\n\nTHE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED \"AS IS\", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR\nIMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY,\nFITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.
