Given a food menu get a grocery list or scan grocery bill to get the recipes.
Project description
An application where you can scan a grocery bill and it suggests you possible food menu you can make. Personalized to your preferences. Like Diet, cuisine etc.
Relevant Technology
There would be API to get recipes from different websites. Node.js, Java an htm5 web application with an app.
Really looking for comments and contributors. To start something up for community.
Don't forget about implementing support for multiple languages for at least grocery bill scanning. There are english speaking people around the world who have non-english bills.
I like the idea. We could start by concentrating on English and then the widely spoken languages like Spanish.
Is there a specific reason that you want to use Java, though ?
Grocery bills generally have arconyms for most items, so I believe we'd have to build a item name database in addition to recipe and ingredients database

@jueast08 There is no specific reason of choosing java. we can use any programming language. Only one reason is I am comfortable with java. Do you have any specific programming language in mind that may be easier and helpful ?
Wouldn't it be better to use python? And it would be better to use Java for client and make Android app
I would like to start with selecting an top class open source OCR. Need recommendations ?
Could be fun :) I'm in! I know a little bit of http://tesseract.projectnaptha.com/
I am looking to work on this as well. Is there any more information as to what programming language should be used?
https://github.com/yeshvantbhavnasi/GroceryScanner Lets join this repository and start working on this project. I will make the Task Board and lets start working on this.
I'm in guys! Quite interesting to work on this!! Just forked it 👍 Is the task board ready?

Hey No I just made a quick list. But feel free to add tasks on the board: https://github.com/yeshvantbhavnasi/GroceryScanner/projects/1
there's a lot of sites that suggest recipes based on ingredient list, such as supercook.com
the other way around is harder. I found that suggesting grocery list based on recipes (or rather, suggesting specific recipes based on vague idea of dish) and the relevance of the generated lists highly depend on what is actually available in my area, and figuring that out programmatically needs integration with specific supermarkets. I believe supermarket chains themselves are in a better position to offer recipe suggestions and grocery lists than a third party.
there's also hellofresh which just delivers groceries + recipe to you.
