We have build the ScanBizCards iPhone application to scan business card images (see http://scanbizcards.com) using Tesseract 3.0 - you can install the free version from this page http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/scanbizcards-lite-business/id338143149?mt=8
For those of you interested in OCR on the iPhone I'd like to invite you to consider the possibility of saving yourself the trouble of implementing everything from taking a picture (or using an existing picture), cropping the image, determining orientation and scanning etc simply by using ScanBizCards to do that (we have a free version so it would not cost your users anything). ScanBizCards has a number of ways to export the scanned data to other applications, including the clipboard, email and even Excel so using ScanBizCards as the scanning engine may work for you unless you really need a tight integration between your app and the scanning process - but even so, talk to me to discuss if there is something we could do to achieve that integration through changes to our app. Patrick On Feb 7, 7:04 pm, elninom <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, I'm newbie.
