An experimental Android app that performs optical character recognition on images captured with the device camera, running the Tesseract OCR engine via the tess-two fork. It also supports translating recognized text using Google Translate or Microsoft Translator APIs.
Use cases
- extract text from photos on android
- scan documents with phone camera
- ocr app for android
- recognize text in images using tesseract
- translate text captured from camera
When to choose
- you want a reference implementation of Tesseract OCR on Android
- you need camera-based text recognition in an Android app you plan to adapt
- you only need English OCR out of the box
When to avoid
- you need OCR for languages other than English without modifying code, since training data downloads are broken
- you need a maintained, production-ready OCR solution
- you need a library rather than a standalone app
