Android OCR Library [closed]

Question

Does anyone know any available libraries or sample codes that can be used to develop an app that reads the text in an image captured by the camera? Something similar to Google Goggles but only for reading text.

Answer 1

1. Look at ABBYY's Android OCR lib (paid)

2. Tesseract JNI wrapper (free)

3. Look at this stackoverflow post

Answer 2

Check out Mezzofanti which uses Tesseract. We used it for our project.
