Hello Folks!! My name is Zaid Kesarani from India. I purse 2nd year B.Tech Computer Eng. from Indian Institute of Advanced Research, Gandhinagar. I think I'm late but Finally got time to work on GSOC just finished mid-sem exams! :woozy_face:

I have experience in Electron (Keymote, Node.JS, C/C++, web sockets and Google Cloud.

@PackElend by the way Password-Protected notes is also sounds interesting! I have experience using crypto-js library. I have used it to generate encrypted keys for establishing secure connections between client and server in Keymote project. Guide me how do I get started

Hopefully you will get involved in this project. What I mostly like to see into an OCR integration into Joplin is support for image to recognised text correction synchronisation! I mean, to have a highlight into the image the place of text that represents the text that is under the cursor in edit mode like in Abby FineReder. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/5wD54pjwNxQ/maxresdefault.jpg

Hi @PackElend

I have already started working on it. As mentioned here (https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/issues/807) we first need to check the feasibility and so I did check feasibility and it’s working fine in Joplin and the results were pretty accurate and it took few seconds to OCR small files and gradually increase with larger text. I have attached demo here:

Now I’m working on implementing more features of OCR as mentioned by @zohozer and GH Issue ( (https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/issues/807))

P.S I’m submitting my first draft proposal for this project today

Thank you @PackElend for your prompt response.
Yepp OCR is complex but Tesseract JS made so much easy to implement,
I’m familiar with Desktop only and trying to implement fully for Desktop platform hope someone else will work on Mobile platform too.
