Brief Explanation of working :

This application is using tesseract-OCR for extracting text from image.

Then the text generated is converted into a matrix.

The words are also seperated and gets stored in a 2-D array.

Then a Trie Data Structure is being used to search the words in the matrix.

This is very good example of using Data Structures in real world projects.

Some ScreenShots of the application are shown below:
