#android-ocr-demo

a demo application forked from [android-ocr](https://github.com/rmtheis/android-ocr) with some files modified to make it run.

#android-ocr

An experimental app for Android that performs optical character recognition (OCR) on images captured using the device camera.

Runs the Tesseract OCR engine using [a fork of Tesseract Tools for Android](https://github.com/rmtheis/tess-two).

Most of the code making up the core structure of this project has been adapted from the ZXing Barcode Scanner. Along with Tesseract-OCR and Tesseract Tools for Android (tesseract-android-tools), several open source projects have been used in this project, including leptonica, google-api-translate-java, microsoft-translator-java-api, and jtar.
