Ocr

A simple Elixir API for using the Google Vision API OCR.

Configuration

You will need to create a project and get the JSON credentials from your Google Console.

Then save the file as config/google-creds.json

Be sure to get all dependencies:

mix deps.get

Playing

Start up a REPL with

iex -S mix

Then use the methods in the Ocr module to get some text back:

iex(1)> Ocr.from_url "http://ih0.redbubble.net/image.16611809.2383/fc,550x550,black.jpg"
"GETS ELIKIR PR ACCEPTED\nI SAID WHO WANTS TO\nFUCKING TOUCH ME?\nSuranyami\n"
