Made this over a handful of nights and weekends. To use, take a screenshot of the Draw Something drawing you are trying to guess and import it into the app. That's all!

This is pretty awesome! Mind sharing how the recognition works?
It's using OpenCV's template matching function. I tried to use other OCR libraries but OpenCV ended up yielding the most accurate results.
How did fit everything in a 3M IPA? Is anything downloaded after the app is installed?
I ended up doing the processing server side - performance on older devices was shockingly slow.
This is very impressive work - well done. Not only is it technically interesting, I like your UI too. Is this your first app?
Thanks! I have a couple other apps available:

I worked with the same designer for these apps. I've noticed great design and UX really helps!
