What it does

Our web application scans the ingredients on a box or package, and accurately grades each of the ingredients in the food you are eating. providing you with a better sense of how the food you eat, affect your health.

How we built it

We built NutritionChecker with a focus on simplicity and user convenience. Using React for a responsive interface and Tesseract.js for OCR, we enabled real-time ingredient recognition. Users can capture food images via their camera, and our app processes the image to extract and display ingredient details. By integrating a food database API, we provide detailed nutritional information at your fingertips. Our goal was to create a seamless experience that helps users make healthier food choices effortlessly.
