This application is designed to detect and solve word search puzzles from an image of a grid. The program uses image processing techniques to identify and isolate each letter, along with a neural network for analysis and a word search algorithm. An interactive user interface is provided.

Requirements :

Before running the application, ensure the following tools are installed:

• gcc: to compile C code
• GTK3: for the graphical interface
• ImageMagick: for image manipulation
• SDL: for image processing

Run :

• Use the import button to load an image inside the software
• Use the rotation slider to manually rotate the selected image
• Use the PROCESS button to process the selected image and show the solution
• Use the process steps to show the desired processing step
• Use the Export button to export the actual shown image with the desired type
