Project Summary

Scopic Software developed a cross-platform (Android/iOS) mobile app that uses OCR to scan printed recipes and calculate nutritional information from a database. Since launch the app has gained about 10,000 downloads with generally positive feedback and low attrition. The vendor was proactive in reliability monitoring and integrated Instabug for error reporting while managing the project with Jira.

Key Challenges

Needed to build an app that analyzes recipes and calculates nutritional values.
Lacked internal development resources to build the product from concept.

Project Deliverables

Wireframes and UI/UX design
Graphics and user-flow documentation
Android and iOS mobile application with OCR functionality
OCR implementation using Google Vision
Backend implemented on Firebase
Built-in browser recipe extractor and database integration

Project Solution

Scopic Software developed the app from scratch, producing wireframes, suggested graphics, and user flows before proceeding to development. The team implemented OCR using Google Vision and built the backend on Firebase, delivering Android and iOS apps that let users photograph or input recipe URLs to extract ingredients and calculate nutritional values.

Project Outcome

About 10,000 downloads and low attrition.
Positive user feedback and reliable app performance.
Proactive issue monitoring via Instabug and regular bug reviews.
Effective project management using Jira and responsive communication.
