## What it is
A fork of Tesseract Tools for Android providing Java APIs and build files for the Tesseract OCR and Leptonica image processing libraries on Android. It bundles native dependencies and exposes them to Android apps via a Gradle dependency.

## Use cases
- recognize text from images in an android app
- run tesseract ocr on android
- extract text from photos on mobile
- add ocr capability to an android application
- use leptonica image processing on android

## When to choose
- you need OCR in an Android app and must pin Tesseract 3.05 with a stable Java API
- you are maintaining a legacy Android project already using tess-two

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new project - use an actively maintained fork like Tesseract4Android
- you need modern Tesseract 4/5 LSTM models
- you target platforms other than Android

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ocr, image-processing
- domain: computer-vision, image-processing, mobile-development
- platform: -
- tags: tesseract, leptonica, java-api, native-libraries, text-recognition, android
