Integrate with a Flask Web App

[rbhatia46]

The app currently can be run only through the terminal. It would be beneficial if it can be integrated with Flask and turned into a web app using the python backend already written.

Shouldn't this be a separate project/repository instead?

[rbhatia46]

@ethchest, maybe but I think the backend is working fine, it just needs the frontend wrapped inside a flask app and I guess 2 different repos(front-end and back-end) for one single project might not be needed. Thanks for your opinion anyways :)

Well, The backend is not fine. You have only a few lines of code that send data to pytesseract and retrieves recognized text. Code that will appear in process of "integration" is more complex than the code in project. I think the name of the issue is not correct. "rewrite project and add web UI" is more suitable here

I can help with this, could you give some insights about the project. Also if you have one mock up or sketch that describes how should look the web ui would be helpful.

[rbhatia46]

@GudarJs would appreciate that. All we need is a simple UI with 2 inputs(one for PDFs, another for Images). and display the result beneath that upon clicking the suitable button. You can have a look at this for reference

Ok, could you please assign me the issue, I will be working in this today.
