Progress During Hackathon

We have implemented all core features of our web application, including image upload, OCR-based text extraction, and typed PDF generation. The app is built using ReactJS, Tailwind CSS, Python, and FastAPI. Currently, we have successfully extracted text from handwritten PDFs and generated clean, typed versions. A built-in chatbot is also integrated to answer user queries based on the extracted content. We plan to enhance the quality of the generated PDFs and improve the chatbot's response accuracy. A key feature pending implementation is the detection and inclusion of handwritten diagrams, which many notes often contain.

Fundraising Status

We are currently utilising a free LLM model(Gemini), which has certain limitations in response quality. To enhance the performance and reliability of our application, we aim to integrate a more advanced, paid LLM model(GPT4 costs 20$/month). For this purpose, we are seeking funding and looking for potential investors to support our initiative..
