Hi, thanks for submitting. I&#x27;m the developer of the app! Happy to answer any questions<p>(I was going to write up a medium post about the technical side of building the app but haven&#x27;t gotten a chance yet)

I feel like this is solving the symptom, and not the actual problem which is that newspapers are printing sudoku with some of the numbers missing.

Did something similar some time back before ARKit and vision frameworks were around.<p>Are you using the rectangle detection from Vision? <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=wt96OomJY9A" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=wt96OomJY9A</a>

Other good ideas:<p>- point at a board game and either do all the boring scorekeeping for me, or else advise me on best strategy<p>- take a photo of a bunch of lottery tickets and tell me whether I&#x27;ve won

I remember using Google Goggles for this back in 2011 or so.<p>The cool new thing is projecting the solution onto the paper and having it track correctly!

Wow, I was at a hack night and saw a demo by someone who had made exactly this type of app on his computer using its webcam. He built a neural network and trained it, and it could even handle angles that weren&#x27;t straight on. I don&#x27;t think he&#x27;s the same guy, but yeah, it&#x27;s a clever idea.

Hey, what if I don&#x27;t have a Sudoku puzzle to provide? Can&#x27;t you just generate one on the table ? :P

How would HN attack the problem of solving a crossword using this type of tech + character recognition?

Oh god mods, please add the word &quot;magic&quot; to the title, it&#x27;s painful to read.
