TechStack

• Frontend: React.js / Next.js (for an interactive UI)
• Backend: Node.js, Express.js
• Real-Time Communication: Socket.io
• Tools:
  • Tesseract OCR
  • Translation API (Google Translate API)

How It Works

1. Users join a shared board and start drawing in real-time.
2. A user takes a snapshot of the board.
3. The OCR extracts handwritten or typed text from the image.
4. The extracted text is shared to the user.
5. Users view the board without affecting the original board.
