Finally for Android! Cool to see a cross-platform implementation of this, and how much can be done by one person and some reasonable gear.

Yes, I was very excited we were able to release it for Android… And even though we used React Native, there were so many native (and C++) bits, it ended up being quite complex!

As for the gear, I think it’s really damaging that so many people think Deep Learning is only for people with large datasets, cloud farms (and PhDs) — as the app proves, you can do a lot with just data you curate by hand, a laptop (and a lowly Master’s degree :p)

Love the post! This explains how mobile TensorFlow can be a actually used on daily life.

One of my primary motivators behind building this blogpost was to show how exactly one can use TensorFlow to ship a production mobile application. There’s certainly a lot of material out there, but a lot of it is either light on details, or only fit for prototypes/demos. There was quite a bit of work involved in making TensorFlow work well on a variety of devices, and I’m proud we managed to get it down to just 50MB or so of RAM usage (network included), and a very low crash rate. Hopefully things like CoreML on iOS and TensorFlow Lite on Android will make things even easier for developers in the future!

Just wanted to say thanks for the warm welcome from HN when the app was released last month — I hope this blogpost answers the questions that were raised back then.

I’d be happy to answer anything else you’d like to know!
