#AndrOCR

---

AndrOCR is an Android Application for Optical character Recognition using Google's Tesseract 3.01 engine.

This is not real good coding, but I'd like to share my code, because lots of people asked me about it.

Application is also available on the Play Store (free, no ads) at the following link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.matpergo.androcr

Compile Notes

To compile AndrOCR you need to import it in Eclipse. To compile, you need also to compile and import tess-two project.

Dependencies

I'm using an old version of tess-two, because newer ones causes problems with some images

To compile tess-two, do the following

	git clone git://github.com/rmtheis/tess-two tess
	cd tess
	git checkout 071820a324		
	cd tess-two
	ndk-build
	android update project --path .
	ant release

Now, import the compiled tess-two into Eclipse and add it to AndrOCR as a Library.
