I have an image on my device which I capture from camera. The image has readable text. I want to convert that image into text i.e. get the text of image and display it.
I went through Tesseract demo, but not all the text of image is converted into text. I know that there are few paid SDK's like ABBY SDK available for this, but I was looking for some free source.
Are there other SDKs available for the same?

Open the Photos app and select a photo, or select an image online. Touch and hold a word and move the grab points to adjust the selection. Tap Copy. To select all of the text in the photo, tap Select All.
Drag the circular grab points around all the words you wish to capture, then tap Copy to grab the text. You can also tap Select All to highlight all visible text in the image, then tap Copy to grab it. Now open the app to which you want to paste the captured text, tap in the right spot, and choose Paste from the menu.
Scan text directly from the iPhone cameraPoint the camera at words and if the software recognizes text, it will display the three-lines-of-text icon in the bottom right of the viewfinder, or top-right in landscape. Press the button.
See this for how to do something quick on iOS with Tesseract. I doubt you will get the accuracy you want though. So far I haven't found a good opensource solution because the iPhone camera is not well suited to this problem. There are a few online API options that do better.
Oh and one word of advice, don't pay for anything without trying it in your situation :)
