Abstract

Objectives: This study focused on integrating Optical Character Recognition (OCR) in the development of a Number System Converter Android application. The primary goal of the study was to read the written or printed text either in decimal, binary, hexadecimal and octal and convert it to the desired number system. Methods: The Rapid Application Development methodology was employed in the development of the system. Findings: The expert testing resulted in a grand mean of 4.77, interpreted as strongly acceptable. This means that the expert evaluators were able to use the system with ease and was easily able to convert text to the desired number system successfully. Applications/Improvements: The successful development of the application will immensely help students to easily convert a value from one number system to another.
