Cross-Platform Mobile App Developer for scanning app ($6,500–$7,000)

Job ID: 39184210

Budget: £10 – £15 GBP

I’m hiring a talented developer to create a cross-platform (Android + iOS) app that scans documents via device camera, extracts text with OCR, summarizes it, and uploads to Google Drive—built for personal (e.g., receipts and documents) and business (e.g., invoices and documents) use, to be sold on app stores. Budget is $6,500–$7,000, targeting a top-tier app with free tools and all listed features to outshine competitors.
Key Features:
• Google Drive integration (OAuth 2.0, HTTPS) for user-owned storage.
• Camera scanning with preprocessing (crop, rotate, brightness, edge detection via OpenCV).
• OCR (Google Vision free tier or Tesseract) with handwriting recognition boost.
• Smart summarization (Hugging Face) for dual use cases.
• Upload scans (PDF/JPEG) and summaries (text) to “Scans/[Year]/[Month]”.
• Enhancements: Auto-categorization (tags), expense tracking (Google Sheets), voice commands, smart reminders, document templates, collaborative sharing (Drive links), offline-first design.
• Polished UI: Preview with edits, folder picker, upload confirmation.
• Onboarding (2–3 slides), feedback form (email link), Firebase Analytics (usage/crashes).
• Optimized for mid-range devices (Android 10+, iOS 14+), error handling (offline queue).
Requirements:
• Expertise in Flutter (preferred) or React Native for cross-platform delivery.
• Experience with Google Drive API, OCR, and app store submissions.
• Ensure free tools (e.g., Tesseract, OpenCV) are licensed for commercial use, add attributions.
• Prep UI for future localization (separate strings).
• Deliver source code, detailed docs (setup + features), store-ready files (APK/IPA) with assets (icon, screenshots, taglines), and freemium hooks (e.g., $1.99 IAP).
Nice-to-Haves:
• Portfolio with scanning/AI apps (share links).
• Quote 5–10 hours/month maintenance post-launch.
Budget & Timeline:
• Fixed budget: $6,500–$7,000 (target 200–220 hours).
• Timeline: 6–7 weeks, starting ASAP.
To Apply:
• Submit hourly rate and estimated hours (200–220).
• Share relevant projects (e.g., Flutter, Google APIs).
• Confirm ability to deliver all features and enhancements with free tools.
Thanks!
