Take a look at the post @tatiang has linked out to immediately above yours as it has a newer tutorial:

I tried @muneer’s tutorial out for myself and adapted it to add uploads from the camera too. So far it seems to be working ok.

Thank you everyone. It’s been helpful. My daughter is trying to make an app that can read receipts from cafe/ supermarket and add it into points into the system. The points accumulated will then be claimed into vouchers from the cafe/ supermarket.

She has been trying but as she only know the basics, she finds it challenging. I will show her the tutorial above and get her to try it.
