Image to Ocr text and Text to speech

[anirudhsingh1998]

Hi!
I'm up on a DIY project and want to do the following:
#1- extract ocr text from a live video ( just point my phone camera or any other cam towards a document and get the text).
#2- send this text output as input to another app
#3- convert this text 'input' to speech output using text to speech apps.

I know a bunch of OCR apps but haven't found one that does the extraction live.
Also, I'm having very much trouble as to how I would be sending the output as input to a text to speech app.
Kindly help to get me in the right direction.
WIndows apps and suggestions would be highly valuable as I'm trying to do this on my laptop.


Thanks!

You need to take a photo. Or a series of photos.

You need to find an app that will do the ocr.

And another app that will do the speech.

You might have better success with your DIY project if you go with open-source applications. The workflow you describe is badly optimal for Windows (mouse, point-and-click) applications.

You mean open-source mobile applications?
Thanks

Can you make your project straight - you want to make mobile (phone) application, or desktop application?
If you are not a skilled mobile programmer - choose another DIY project.
You might have better success making something "workable" reusing other's work in the Linux world.
