CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

Accurate Text Extraction: Text recognition applications employ sophisticated algorithms to

accurately identify and extract text from complex sources, including different languages, fonts,
sizes, and orientations.
Document Layout Preservation: These applications strive to retain the original document's
layout and formatting during the conversion process, ensuring the extracted text maintains the
structure and integrity of the source document.

Language and Character Support: Many text recognition applications support multiple
languages and character sets, allowing them to handle diverse texts from different regions and
cultures.
Handwriting Recognition: Some advanced text recognition applications include handwriting
recognition capabilities, enabling them to convert handwritten text into editable digital content.

Image Pre-processing: Prior to text extraction, these applications often employ image pre-
processing techniques to enhance the quality of the source image, removing noise, adjusting
brightness and contrast, and improving overall readability.
Output Options: Text recognition applications provide various output options, such as
exporting the recognized text to popular file formats (e.g., TXT, PDF, DOCX), copying it to
the clipboard, or integrating it with other,software applications.

Text recognition applications, also known as Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software,
play a crucial role in
transforming printed or handwritten text into digital format. These applications leverage
advanced algorithms and artificial intelligence techniques to extract text from images, scanned
documents, or even live camera feeds.

The primary goal of a text recognition application is to convert physical text into editable and
searchable content, enabling users to easily manipulate, store, and analyze textual information.
Whether it's digitizing documents, automating data entry, or enhancing accessibility for
visually impaired individuals, text recognition applications offer a wide range of practical uses
across various industries.

CHAPTER 2

SYSTEM ANALYSIS

System analysis is a project management technique and a phase of system

development life cycle that divides complex projects into smaller, more easily managed
segments or phases. Segmenting projects allows managers to verify the successful
completion of project phases before allocating resources to subsequent phases.

The purpose of the systems analysis phase is to understandthe requirement and

build a logical model of the new system. During the next phases, data modelling, process
modelling, and object modelling, we develop a logical model of business process that the
system must support.

The end product called as systems requirements document describes management

and user requirements, alternative plans and costs, and analysis your recommendation.
System engineering and analysis encompasses requirement gathering at the system level
with a small amount of top-level design and analysis. This process of analysing and
gathering requirements is known as software requirement specification (SRS).

The requirement gathering process intensifiedand focused specifically, on

software. The preliminary investigation, feasibility study and the detailed investigation
allows the system to comprehend the full scope of this project. Soon after testing,
implementation of the developed system is followed by training.

CHAPTER 3

SOFTWARE REQUIREMENT SPECIFICATION

Software Requirement Specification (SRS) is a fundamental document, which forms

the foundation of the software development process. SRS not only lists the requirements
of a system but also has a description of its major features. These recommendations
extend the IEEE standards. The recommendations would form the basis for providing
clear visibility of the product to be developed serving as baseline for execution of a
contract between client and the developer.

A system requirement is one of the main steps involved in the development process. It
follows after a resource analysis phase that is the task to determine what a particular
software product does. The focus in this stage is one of the users of the system and not
the system solutions. The result ofthe requirement specification document States the
intention of the software, properties and constraints of the desired system.

SRS constitutes the agreement between clients and developers regarding the contents
of the software product that is going to be developed. SRS should accurately and
completely represent the system requirements as it makes a huge contribution to the
overall project plan.

3.1. Existing System

Designing an encryption/decryption system, amongst other things, requires decision
on the basic functionality of the software, and the choice of cryptographic algorithm to be
used. While the functionality supports the attractiveness of the system, the type of
cryptographic algorithm actually determines how much security the system would
actually provide. Hence, this forms the major component in the system design. Currently,
there are many available open-source and commercial encryption/decryption systems.
Madji and Lin (2007) developed a system that employs binary rotation of bits with XOR
logical operation. The application uses symmetric encryption key, which is generated
using random number generation and combination. Another use of symmetric encryption
key was by Abdelhalim, El-Mahallawy, Ayyad, and Elhennawy (2012). They designed
and implemented a Modified Tiny Encryption Algorithm (MTEA) for use in RFID
systems.

3.2. Proposed System

Initially, algorithm starts with plain text. So, the plain text is act as input. Then the
plain text transmitted into cipher text using several fixed encryption process randomly. In
this method, the key generation process will be there. That means, the receiver must use
the key to access the message that the sender will send. Therefore, to convert any
plaintext into cipher text, we have to apply some fixed encryption process.

On the other hand, to convert any cipher text to plain text we have to apply some
fixed decryption process. So, our main focus of this proposed algorithm is to protect all
the information, that is being transmitted between sender and receiver without any data
lose and to protect this information from unauthorized source.

System Design
4.1. Architecture

The type of architecture used in this application is single tier architecture. In this
type of architecture, the database is readily available on the application. Any request
made by the user doesn't require a network connection to perform the action on the
database.

Medication reminders help in decreasing medication dispensing errors and wrong

dosages. The Reminder system consists of two parts –setting Alarm and getting
notification.

4.2. Data Flow Diagrams (DFD’s)

DFD graphically representing the functions, or processes, which capture, manipulate,

store and distribute data between a system and its environment and between components
of a system. The visual representation makes it a good communication tool between User
and System designer. A structure of DFD allows starting from a broad overview and
expands it to a hierarchy of detailed diagrams. DFD has often been used due to the
following reasons: • Logical information flow of the system. • Determination Of physical
system construction requirements. • Simplicity of notation. • Establishment of manual and
automated systems requirements.

The following symbols are used in the Data Flow Diagram:

 This arrow diagram represents the flow of data in one direction.

 This arrow diagram represents the flow of data in bi-direction.

 This rectangular symbol represents the activity of the application.

 This circular symbol denotes the users / source of inputs to

the activity of theapplication.

 This symbol denotes the Database and Database Tables of the application.
