Object Character Recognition
Google and Microsoft both have Object Character Recognition (OCR) models available via API. There is a free tier and a paid tier for either. It would be absolutely amazing to have a camera skill that can read text. This could even trigger the translate option or integrate with Chat GPT3. Lots of follow on options if we unlock OCR.

Arduino Mega Firmware
I downloaded the firmware for the Arduino Mega and unzipped it. I double clicked on the EZ- MEGA - V1 but it did not load into my Arduino IDE. It just asked what app I wanted to open it with. The file I downloaded was dated 10/11/2021. If you have any ideas about what I am doing wrong I would appreciate it?
