Creating a Wordle Helper App for iPhone using the Camera, Text Recognition, Xamarin, C# and .NET

I'll talk about the cultural phenomenon that is Wordle, its history and what inspired me to create the app.

Then discuss how the app uses the camera to see the users guesses and recommend a list of matching words. No typing required!

Interesting topics covered include OCR (Optical Character Recognition), determining average colours and future applications.

Whilst it is an iPhone app, it was NOT created with Swift or Objective-C.

The code is written in C# in Visual Studio for Mac and deployed to my iPhone using Xamarin.iOS.

I hope to inspire others to create similar apps for iOS using their C# and .NET knowledge.
