    Well... it looks interesting but what are use cases?
    Thanks!

      Designers can use this to find fonts in various designs from behance, dribbble.

        Well, it makes sense. What doesn't make sense is why to use a camera for it.
        If I would like to know fonts used in picture I would copy image or just drag it to the service (like it's done in Google image search) but I wouldn't use a camera for it.

          Thanks Zencentric, i will be also working on this too.
          The only roadblock is i've to train an ML model with images of 900 fonts in various angles

            Yeah, it can be very tedious... but good luck :)
