OCR Text Recognition App 📝🔍 (WORKING ON)

The goal was to build an application that allows users to recognize text from images using OCR (Optical Character Recognition) powered by Tesseract and OpenCV.
It supports multiple languages and can be applied to documents, license plates, or general images containing text.
