I am trying to develop my first OCR app using tesseract. I’m developing under Windows XP using Eclipse and targeting Android 2.1+
- do i need cygwin?
- do i need the android ndk?
—>Through vast research and consultation, I realize that you dont need cygwin or ndk either. But still, the code and procedure on Gautams blog gives error. I tried building the app and ended but with an application package file that does nothing but force closes when I press the “OCR!” button on the app. Any idea??
Gautam’s tutorial is the best tutorial for using Tesseract OCR on Android.
