Hi Eric, thank you.
Just uploaded the apk on the google-code website: http://code.google.com/p/mezzofanti/ Also: - all code sources are available online at http://code.google.com/p/mezzofanti/ - you can find some how-to tutorials about tesseract integration here: http://www.itwizard.ro/interfacing-cc-libraries-via-jni-example-tesseract-163.html - and putting it all together in Mezzofanti here: http://www.itwizard.ro/mezzofanti-augmented-reality-through-text-recognition-146.html (by the way, there is a pdf with software modules description in there) Have fun, and if you have any questions do not hesitate ;) Best regards IT Wizard On Sep 3, 2:40 pm, "Eric Wong (hdmp4.com)" <[email protected]> wrote: > Great work. > I previously had a similar idea for an application for ADC2 using OCR > engine but no one figured out how to incorporate the Tesseract engine. > > Btw, is the apk available for download somewhere? > > Cheers > Eric > > On Sep 2, 8:23 pm, ITWizard <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Hi all, > > > we are happy to share with you the release of Mezzofanti, an > > application that allows reality augmentation (as seen in camera mode) > > with information about any text in view.
