I want to make an app

Building Glitch
1 
npm install react-native-camera @react-native-community/viewpager
npm install @google-cloud/vision

2. Capture Image:

javascript

Copy code

import React, { useState } from 'react';
import { Button, Image, View } from 'react-native';
import { RNCamera } from 'react-native-camera';

const App = () => {
  const [imageUri, setImageUri] = useState(null);

  const captureImage = async () => {
    const options = { quality: 0.5, base64: true };
    const data = await this.camera.takePictureAsync(options);
    setImageUri(data.uri);
    // Send data.base64 to the server for OCR processing
  };

  return (
    <View>
      <RNCamera
        ref={ref => { this.camera = ref; }}
        style={{ flex: 1 }}
      />
      <Button title="Capture Image" onPress={captureImage} />
      {imageUri && <Image source={{ uri: imageUri }} style={{ width: 200, height: 200 }} />}
    </View>
  );
};

export default App;

3. OCR with Google Vision API:

javascript

Copy code

const vision = require('@google-cloud/vision');

const client = new vision.ImageAnnotatorClient();

const detectText = async (imageBase64) => {
  const [result] = await client.textDetection(`data:image/jpeg;base64,${imageBase64}`);
  const detections = result.textAnnotations;
  console.log('Text:', detections[0] ? detections[0].description : 'No text found');
};

Hi! :wave:! Welcome to the community! It seems like you want to make a program that uses AI to detect what a picture is of! That sounds really cool! Are you having issues? What is going wrong?
