OT: image scan

Hi,

I wonder if anyone has worked on any project that involves with image scan and verification.
For instance, a person upload an image of his/her badge, and say, the badge has his name,
“John Anderson” and an expiration date, “10/19/2019”. Is there any way that we can extract such textual data from the scanned image?

Thanks.

You’ll need to use some sort of OCR or image recognition software. Brian Klaas has a nice write-up of how to use AWS Rekognition to do this:

You don’t have to have everything on aws to use it. I have used it to get transcriptions of my podcast.
