I need my app to read text via Camera. I know there’s the Tesseract library which does this, but I’d really prefer if there was an app that can handle Intents to read text via Camera, like Xzing does for reading QR codes.
Is there such an app?
There isn’t currently an app on Google Play that does this.
I’ve thought about making one, but the possible use cases for such an app vary much more than for, say, scanning a QR code. There are different possible scenarios:
The different scenarios present a challenge for how to handle the image. A request to such an app via Intent would probably need to specify at least the type of thresholding to use for pre-processing the image along with the language/traineddata file to use.
