A cross-platform mobile app (Android & iOS) that enables the user to find books online by taking a photo of the physical book cover. It was developed as a submission for DeltaHacks III hackathon. The app’s source code is available on Github.

Design

Flutter

Flutter was chosen because it provides cross-platform functionality on both Android & iOS with a single code base.

Google Cloud Services

The app utilizes Google cloud services to generate the search results. The picture taken by the user is processed through Google Cloud Vision API and the result is then passed to Google Books API to get the details about the book including the Book name, author name, description and a link to get more details or purchase the book from Google books.
