So, I get only what I am looking for, in return I lost the whole bunch of other text which other OCR services offer.

What if the characters are incorrectly identified? like "Owl" as (O/0)(w/v)(l/i/I/1); i just missed everything and left with no chance of fuzzy finding things.

Neat idea, and very aesthetically pleasing design. Nice work!

Cool idea - are you using Firebase/Google or _something_else_?
