Hi, my name is Lilian . I am doing the exact same project for my final year and i came across your code. My question is, after running the commands given for the server there is a link generated as below; INFO: Started server process [5276] INFO: Waiting for application startup. INFO: Application startup complete. INFO: Uvicorn running on http://0.0.0.0:80 (Press CTRL+C to quit)

but when i click on the link it just says this site can't be reached. Please provide some guidance on that

Hi Lilian, great to hear that this repo may be of use to other people :). The ip address 0.0.0.0 has a special meaning - it means that the server is listening on all available interfaces, which is exactly what we want and need! It means that if a request reaches your computet in any way ln the specific port, the request will be routed to our server. However, 0.0.0.0 is not an ip you can surf to, and it only holds special meanings. To reach the server locally on your computer you would have to use another special ip address: 127.0.0.1 or simply type "localhost". Either will route the request back to your computer and to the server. So instead of http://0.0.0.0:80, use http://127.0.0.1:80 or http://localhost:80. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me and I'll try my best to help you😁.

PS, if you are running the server code on a different computer, you'll need to use the other computer's ip address.

Regards, Tomer

Hi Tomer, Thank you for your quick response I had a few other enquirers; How does your app do text recognition I understand your trained a model for the handwriting recognition, do you still have the notebook where you trained it? How did you create the server and what are all those many directories in it.. kindly break it down for me

This will be much appreciated

Regards,

Hi Lilian, Sorry for the late reply, I haven't had much time recently... My app does OCR (text recognition using the python server which does all the heavy computation using Computer Vision, and Convolutional Neural Networks. The model is trained using the EMNIST database which you can find online. The Neural Network received a 64x64 pixel input of a character (after dividing the original input into individual lines and characters) and predicts the character in the image. The server is created using python libraries FastAPI and unicorn. I suggest you read more online on those libraries. I don't know what you are referring to with the directories in the server, as there is only one... To download the app to your phone you need to install Flutter and follow the instructions in the README on Github.

Happy to help😀

Regards, Tomer Gibor

Hi Tomer, Thanks for all the help. I was able to run the app successfully. However, lately the save button has been giving me an issue. when i try to save thee is an error on the application(error downloading file)and on the server side it brings an error 404 not found. Its like data is not being stored in the server for the app to access it. Ip address is okay and all other buttons work fine only the save button brings this error. My internet connection is okay too. I have run out of options.... Your help will be very much appreciated as soon as you can.

Regards, Lilian
