+# OCR and Document Search Web Application Prototype
+
+## Introduction
+This project is a web-based prototype designed to perform Optical Character Recognition (OCR) on images containing text in both Hindi and English. The application allows users to upload an image, extract the text, and search for specific keywords within the extracted content. The goal is to demonstrate the functionality of OCR technology in a user-friendly web application.
+
+## Technologies
+The following technologies and libraries were used in this project:
+
+- **Python**: Programming language used for development.
+- **EasyOCR**: Library for performing OCR on images.
+- **Streamlit**: Framework for building the web application interface.
+- **Pillow**: Library for image processing.
+
+## Requirements
+To run this project, you will need the following libraries installed:
+
+```plaintext
+easyocr
+streamlit
+Pillow
+```
+
+
+
