Demo available here

The following is a POC(Proof of concept) for text recognition in any Image using AWS Rekognition. Amazon Rekognition is a proven, highly scalable, deep learning technology developed by Amazon’s computer vision scientists to analyze billions of images and videos daily. This repo contains serverless API which accepts an image and gives the analisis for it in JSON. This also contains a client based on Reactjs which allows to upload an image to the API and view the analisis of the image.

Clone project into your local folder.... & then navigate to project on terminal or Shell

***If you don't have Nodejs installed on your PC, please download & install it from here *** Download Nodejs

The following commands needs to be run in a terminal or shell :

npm install -g serverless 

serverless config credentials --provider aws --key $AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID --secret $AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

Note that the $AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and $AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY here needs to be replaced by credentials given to you by project owner or you may create your own AWS account and IAM role / credentials for programatic access Click here for more info !!!

Make sure you are on the root folder of the cloned directory & run the following commands

npm install

To install the required dependancies / packages

npm run offline

This spins up a node server on port 3000.Open up a new terminal & then navigate to client folder using your command line / terminal

cd client

npm install

run install here as well to install required dependancies for client & then run

npm start

This spawns a dev server on port 4000 and runs our react app , which makes the relevent api calls to the API that is already running on port 3000.
