I built an auto HQ solver with tesseract when HQ was blowing up over thanksgiving (HQ was the gameshow by the vine people with live hosts). I would take a screenshot of the app during a question, share it/send it to a little local api, do a google query for the question, see how many times each answer on the first page appeared in the results, then rank the answers by probability.

Didn't work well/was a very naive way to search for answers (which is prob good/idk what kind of trouble I'd have gotten in if it let me or anyone else who used it win all the time), but it was fun to build.
