So, I get only what I am looking for, in return I lost the whole bunch of other text which other OCR services offer.<p>What if the characters are incorrectly identified? like &quot;Owl&quot; as (O&#x2F;0)(w&#x2F;v)(l&#x2F;i&#x2F;I&#x2F;1); i just missed everything and left with no chance of fuzzy finding things.

Neat idea, and very aesthetically pleasing design. Nice work!

Cool idea - are you using Firebase&#x2F;Google or _something_else_?
