UI sketches:

round 1

the user flow

• Tried out a bunch of scanning apps for iOS.
• Decided on uploading images to Google Drive and using their OCR option.

testing out the api

expectations/ mockup

• Fast way to go to last read
• Ability to quickly open OCR app
• Automatically sorted by date
• First word is hi-lighted for easy recognition
• Bold sans-serif with large line height
• Alternating color BGs for text to keep place
• Indented grafs

The latest

next Steps

• Hook up the Google API
• Add functionality to change background and text colors, text size, and search - including voice searching.
• Keep iterating and testing until I hit on a more intutive UI
