About ABBYY RTR SDK

ABBYY Real-Time Recognition SDK provides a technology for recognizing text directly on the smartphone's camera preview screen. Snapping a picture is not required.

The samples cover the following scenarios:

• Text Capture (sample-textcapture)

  the basic usage scenario; the user simply points their camera at the text, which is then recognized and displayed or saved in memory

Prerequisites

To try out the real-time OCR technology using these samples, first download the library from our site.

The library is free: a fully-functional version for up to 5000 app downloads via Google Play.

In the download package you will find:

• the library itself (libs/abbyy-rtr-sdk-1.0.aar)
• the resource files:
  • assets/dictionaries — dictionary support for some of the recognition languages; using a dictionary improves the result quality
  • assets/patterns — recognition databases
• license — your license file and licensing agreement

Note: You are not allowed to include assets or license in any branch of this sample in public repositories. This notice must be included in all public branches. Anyone wishing to try out the samples should download their own copy of the library from the above link and use the license and assets from that copy.

Building the samples

The samples need only a little configuring:

1. Please change the application ID before modifying or otherwise using the sample.

2. Move the license file from the license folder to the assets folder.

3. Check that the license name is specified correctly in the sample code:

    public class MainActivity extends Activity {
        //Licensing
        private static final String licenseFileName = "license";
   

4. Copy the assets folder into the app/src/main folder in the sample folder.

5. [optional] To save space, you may also want to remove from assets/dictionaries the dictionaries for recognition languages your application does not use.
