Happy Wednesday!
Today the three of us met and continued working on the project requirements for our Receipt Reader
The high-level goal will be reading that specific receipt we linked, but as a stretch goal we want to be able to read more receipts of the same format.
We’re using Google Docs to handle task-tracking & planning. It’s faster to use than using Markdown through Git.
We got permission to use an OCR library, but to make sure our project isn’t stupidly simple, our current plan is to use image processing to identify, straighten, and pre-process the receipt so it can be more easily parsed by our OCR Library of choice, Tesseract[1]
