YuGiHo Card reader

About The Project

This project was created to help me increase my Python programming skills, while also providing a useful tool for selling my YuGiHo playing cards. The application utilizes OpenCV and pytesseract to detect and read the text from the cards, while also looking up the appropriate pricing information online. This enables an automated process of organizing and pricing my collection without manually having to check each card.
