### CR

Character Recognition **(CR)**.

cover

### API

CR api is a simple rest api that is served at `http://localhost:3001` and is able to detect text data from an image.

### Mobile

This is a mobile application that is consuming a rest api. The users are able to use this app to detect text from images that are in their gallery as well as images from their cameras.

### API response

If a proper `POST` request is sent to the server at `http://127.0.0.1:3001/api/v1/recognize` we will be able to get all the text that were going to appear on the image.

### cURL request

If a `cURL` request is send to the server at localhost which looks as follows:

```shell
curl -X POST -F image=@text.png http://127.0.0.1:3001/api/v1/recognize
```

The server will respond with the `API` response which looks as follows:

```json
{
"results": [
"You might like",
"See more",
"nanou",
"@NanouuSymeon",
"2d",
"Which Programming Language is good for",
"beginners?",
"874",
"2",
"161",
"1,395"
],
"success": true
}
```

> Note that the text that are detected on the images are listed as `results`.

### Server

The server is actually slow in making these detections because it is running on a `CPU`.

### Why CR?

Character recognition was developed because I realized that most of the time when I buy airtime they give me a slip which contains the recharge `PIN` which is very long to type. Using this `tool` users can just take a picture of the `PIN` number and then `CR` recognize all the numbers for you accurately and all you need to do is `copy` and paste.
