My son is making his app using AppInventor for homework. We want to make an OCR translator - when you take a picture of the text, then the app automatically recognizes the text in the picture and translates it to another language.
We find a cool OCR extension made by Mika that has the method to get the picture of the text and return a string of the text. But Mika’s extension requires a PNG image, while the Android photo app uses JPG.
So I try to use your OCR extension now. Does this support JPG format? If not, what can I do for achieving our goal?
If you are using MIT App Inventor please do ask in App Inventor’s community and not here cause builders are different. If you are using @Mika extension then with his extension he provided a test aia. Check it and see if it works for you. Actually ocr component in Kodular was made by @Mika and works the same as his extension
Kodular supports extensions for app inventor and vice versa but some components are not the same in both builders so a project from Kodular might not work on App Inventor or an aia from App Inventor might not work with Kodular and that’s why I mentioned to ask only in the builder’s comminity that you are using
