Would like to do the following: take picture
and convert the text in image into encoded text
. I was just wondering if there are any companies providing OCR API for iPhone and/or Android phones?
An OCR app available for Android is one of the best OCR apps available today. It is a robust and fast app that comes handy if you need to use the OCR app frequently.
With Live Text, iOS will now recognise any text in a photo, screenshot, or camera preview thanks to the optical character recognition (OCR) allowing Apple to extract text from any image. Users can now copy and paste, lookup or translate the text in photos, screenshots.
It includes a powerful OCR feature built-in that enables you to extract and copy text from images scanned using the app. Here's our detailed guide that explains how to extract and copy text from an image on iPhone and iPad using Scanner Pro and its powerful iPhone OCR feature.
You will find some more information over here - ABBYY Mobile OCR Engine for Iphone
There is a port of the Google Tesseract OCR 2.4 to Android apparently. See Using tesseract on android
