Dear Twitter:
Has anyone gotten an @awscloud DeepLens to do OCR?
It’s kicking my butt. Help?

I have. That's where I started, but I'm either thinking about this the wrong way, or else am insufficiently skilled. Picture that, only without the page recognition bits. "Every x frames, OCR it, store anything with a confidence interval above y%" is all I'm after.

@QuinnyPig, I used Tesseract to OCR the text after isolating the text-block in the image. Unfortunately, OCR requires very clean images of text to successfully work so if you pass in the whole frame, you're not going to get great results when you try to OCR it.
