# tess-two

A fork of Tesseract Tools for Android 

([tesseract-android-tools][tesseract-android-tools]) that adds some

additional functions. Tesseract Tools for Android is a set of Android APIs and

build files for the [Tesseract OCR][tesseract-ocr] and [Leptonica][leptonica] 

image processing libraries.

This project works with:

 - Tesseract 3.05

 - Leptonica 1.74.1

 - libjpeg 9b

 - libpng 1.6.25

 

The source code for these dependencies is included within the

`tess-two/jni` folder. 

The `tess-two` module contains tools for compiling the Tesseract and Leptonica

libraries for use on the Android platform. It provides a Java API for accessing 

natively-compiled Tesseract and Leptonica APIs.

The `eyes-two` module contains additional image processing code copied from the

[eyes-free project][eyes-free]. It includes native functions for text detection,

blur detection, optical flow detection, and thresholding. Eyes-two is not needed

for using the Tesseract or Leptonica APIs.

The `tess-two-test` module contains instrumented unit tests for tess-two.

## Pre-requisites

* Android 2.3 or higher

* A v3.04 [trained data file][tessdata] for a language. Data files must be 

copied to the Android device in a subdirectory named `tessdata`.

## Usage

To use tess-two from your app, edit your app module's `build.gradle` file to add 

tess-two as an external dependency:

	dependencies {

	    implementation 'com.rmtheis:tess-two:9.1.0'

	}

	

[Javadoc][javadoc] is available.

## Building

If you want to modify the tess-two code, or you want to use the eyes-two module,

you may build the project yourself locally. See [BUILDING.md](BUILDING.md).

## Versions

Release points are tagged with [version numbers][semantic-versioning]. A change 

to the major version number indicates an API change making that version 

incompatible with previous versions.

The [change log](CHANGELOG.md) shows what's new in each version.
