Ocr feature

Open Kamal-Sonani opened this issue 6 years ago • 4 comments

Firstly , Great app , huge thanks for that.

Some feature makes app more creative.

◆Add ocr (text to image) only enable while click on camera icon Get number with space or without space Like 84859 406xx OR. 84859406xx ~its very useful to take snap form anyone's visiting card and direct chat

◆Add temporary name option in recents , Ex :- if I've some temporary number to coordinate for 3 to 5 days ,its difficult to remember his number

Rather then save his/number ,in recent list i type name and its display with recent numbers.

Thanks for the compliment :)

◆Add ocr (text to image) only enable while click on camera icon

That would be a very useful feature indeed (and not the first one to suggest it). My main problem is that usually these types of features require including a library that is about 30MB (remember: the current size of the app is ~0.1MB). I'll try to investigate if I can make it without adding libraries, but I'm not sure if that is possible.

◆Add temporary name option in recents

I could totally do that (in fact currently the recent numbers do have a name, but it is not displayed nor saved). My question is, why? You can simply pin it, and unpin later when not needed. The pin/unpin requires one click, is there a reason why you think it is better without pinning?

WhatsApp have only 3 limit to pin

As a normal user its ok, but in whatsapp business almost all user pinned some useful numbers...

As you say ocr's library ~ 30 mb

Its online conversation or offline?

Offline, and that's the issue. I have yet to find an online ocr that a third party app can use, I've seen some apps but none of them suit my needs (and all full of ads). I'm open to suggestions...I would make it myself, so other could also use it, but I'm currently with lack of free time.
