Hi Robert, How do I get an efficiency and speed of recognizing text through OCR like your app? Did you mix up a lot of libraries? is it achievable through tesseract android tools alone?
I am just trying to obtain a string through OCR but not translate it and instead send it to a server for further processing? So, I suppose I just need a way to efficiently recognize the text and store it before I send it as a JSON object! Any suggestion on that? Thanks !
