Android users, on the other hand, can use the Google Drive app built into the phone to scan documents, but use the Camera app to digitize text with OCR (see below). If you don't see the Google Drive icon on your home screen, which looks like a colorful triangle, simply search for the word “drive” and it'll pop up.
Find an image with text on it, no matter the length, with one click, you can easily take a screenshot and sync it to your cloud. Speechify will read the text out loud.
There was a time when this seemed like a bad idea, but doesnt seem like a bad idea. I guess u can use Tesseract OCR Tool, an open source alternative by Google. How to integrate that in Android is simple via Tesseract Android Tools
A good guide on how to do it is also well documented at http://rmtheis.wordpress.com/2011/08/06/using-tesseract-tools-for-android-to-create-a-basic-ocr-app/
Let us also know how this goes for you.
