SCAN SHOT

Abstract

Scan Shot is a project aimed at developing a mobile scanner solution that empowers individuals to easily scan their official documents and images using their smartphones, eliminating the need for an immediate access to a physical scanner. In the post-COVID era, where physical document submission and data transfer can be cumbersome, this scanner provides a convenient alternative. While a basic camera can capture images, there are inherent challenges in ensuring the readability of the captured text. Human errors and difficulties in capturing thin or delicate text can result in noise or unreadable characters. Scan Shot addresses these issues by offering character recognition capabilities and a variety of filters to enhance text visibility. Furthermore, it facilitates the scanning of ID cards, postcards, and other similar documents. The core solution lies in the development of a portable scanner equipped with character recognition technology and a range of filters to improve text legibility. These filters enable users to make text more prominent, bold, or enhance text edges. To aid comprehension of documents in different languages, a translation feature is also included. The translator enables the conversion of text from one language to another, facilitating understanding across language barriers.
