Quote Explainer using OpenAI and EasyOCR

Aim

The main aim of this project is to extract and understand the elaborated meaning of a quote that is uploaded as an image. This is achieved by utilizing the EasyOCR library for Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and OpenAI's language model for text interpretation.

Project Overview

In this project, we utilize the EasyOCR library for extracting text from an image containing a quote. The extracted text is then passed to OpenAI's language model using langchain to interact easily with openai api, which generates a more comprehensive and elaborated meaning of the given quote.

OCR Example

answer:

'Live as if you were to die tomorrow Learn as if you were to live forever: Mahatma Gandhi +Alireza Yavari'

Getting Started

Follow these steps to get started with the project:

1. Installation:

   • Install the required Python libraries using the following command:

     pip install openai easyocr gtts soundfile sounddevice langchain

2. API Key Setup:

   • Obtain an API key from OpenAI by signing up on their platform.
   • Set up your OpenAI API key as an environment variable:

     export OPENAI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

3. Running the Project:

   • Place the image containing the quote you want to analyze in the project directory or provide the path to the image in the code.
   • Run the Python script quote_explainer.py using the following command:

     python quote_explainer.py *path_to_your_image*.jpg

   • The script will use EasyOCR to perform OCR on the image, extract the quote, and send it to OpenAI's language model for interpretation.
   • The generated elaborated meaning of the quote will be displayed in the terminal.

Customization

• You can customize the project by experimenting with different preprocessing techniques for better OCR results, adjusting the language model's parameters, or enhancing the user interface.

Gradio UI

Note

• Keep in mind that OCR and language model results may not always be accurate. Preprocessing and error handling can be added to improve the overall reliability of the project.

Acknowledgments

• This project was inspired by the capabilities of EasyOCR and OpenAI's language model.
