This project won't be receiving further updates or maintenance.
Please consider trying one of the forks of this project such as https://github.com/adaptech-cz/Tesseract4Android.
A fork of Tesseract Tools for Android (tesseract-android-tools) that adds some additional functions. Tesseract Tools for Android is a set of Android APIs and build files for the Tesseract OCR and Leptonica image processing libraries.
This project works with:
- Tesseract 3.05
- Leptonica 1.74.1
- libjpeg 9b
- libpng 1.6.25
The source code for these dependencies is included within the
tess-two/jni folder.
The tess-two module contains tools for compiling the Tesseract and Leptonica
libraries for use on the Android platform. It provides a Java API for accessing
natively-compiled Tesseract and Leptonica APIs.
The eyes-two module contains additional image processing code copied from the
eyes-free project. It includes native functions for text detection,
blur detection, optical flow detection, and thresholding. Eyes-two is not needed
for using the Tesseract or Leptonica APIs.
The tess-two-test module contains instrumented unit tests for tess-two.
- Android 2.3 or higher
- A v3.04 trained data file for a language. Data files must be
copied to the Android device in a subdirectory named
tessdata.
To use tess-two from your app, edit your app module's build.gradle file to add
tess-two as an external dependency:
dependencies {
implementation 'com.rmtheis:tess-two:9.1.0'
}
Javadoc is available.
If you want to modify the tess-two code, or you want to use the eyes-two module, you may build the project yourself locally. See BUILDING.md.
Release points are tagged with version numbers. A change to the major version number indicates an API change making that version incompatible with previous versions.
The change log shows what's new in each version.
