With LetterSnap, take pictures of text and extract the actual text. The app is powered by Google Cloud Vision, which lets it tackle weird fonts, Chinese + Japanese, colored backgrounds, text at an angle, most anything you can throw at it. I also wrote the simplest, fastest workflow I could conceptualise -- one or two taps to get the text, that's it!
