Idea: Bulk review checking for books These days, everyone wants to read reviews before commiting to something. But it's a pain to have to individually google several things in a row
- User takes a photo of a bookshelf
- App identifies book text
- App filters out irrelevant text/numbers: "Edited", "Library", "Author"
- App queries for matching books
- Display results, sorted by rating
- Analyzes image and extracts lines of words using Google Cloud Vision API
- Filters out prices and other "noise"
- Consumes Google Books API, processing image data
- Prints book information
- Register for Google API Key
- Enable Google Books API and Google Cloud Vision API use in developer console
- Setup authorization for Google Cloud Vision API
- In Parent Directory, create API_KEY.txt file with Google API Key
- Optional: Add image file to project directory and name it image.jpeg (or update filePath in Main.java with image name)
- (Currently: Build/Run Main.java)
