## Why our application will give accurate results?

![](public/better-model.png)

- Our model utilizes PyTesseract to find the words such as amount/total/grand total/cash usually found on Indian bills/reciept and creating a bounding box around these using openCV
- Since there was low training data available on Indian bills coupled with time constraints, we had to rely on third party nanonets API for backup
- We are cross-examining both results and finding the better of the two

## Tech-stack

- React and it's related packages
- Django rest framework
- PyTessearct, OpenCV, RegEx

## Motivation?

- To build something that is relevant to current needs

- The pandemic broke the age old mirage of job-security and made people swallow the hard pill that concepts like personal finance, budgetting, tracking expenditure are important
- To build our first PWA
