One of the new activities I picked up this past year was reading the Sunday edition of The New York Times. I find reading a physical newspaper to be a tactile and enjoyable experience. But reading news online is feature-rich and optimized for sharing and discovery. With SnapNews, you can switch seamlessly between digital and physical newspaper mediums. Take a photo of a New York Times newspaper article and SnapNews finds this article online for you. The app uses optical character recognition to extract headline text from an image. It then searches The New York Times article database with this text and returns the most relevant result. Video demo: https://youtu.be/JE4sd-a0Clc
