Prototype

The device works by scanning the document across the XY plane and then reconstructing images that are captured through an Arduino camera. After the image has been scanned, if any part seems scanned imperfectly, it can be clicked on to have that portion rescanned. After this, we are using pythons OpenCV library to analyse the image. After dividing the image based on word count, the spacing can be checked using the scanner as the scanner will move through specified parts and measure the space.
