Smart Lecture Notes

Welcome to the Repo for the Smart Lecture Notes ACM Project!

Goal

The goal of this project is to create an application that will allow the user to take a picture of handwritten notes and make that text searchable, both by words and by headings, graphics, etc.

Minimum Viable Product

• Application will use the onboard camera to take a picture of notes
• Application will OCR the picture (probably start with typed pages and then move on to handwritten notes)
• Application will parse that picture into headings, graphics, emphasized text, etc.
• Application will tag/name all of the headings, graphics, emphasized text, etc. to make it searchable

Note: these things will probably happen in this order
