Java – optical character recognition Android and opencv

At present, I am carrying out a project involving optical character recognition in Android. I really need the pointers of some people with experience in the region

I was told to set up opencv through Android (set up opencv with Android) and start from there Since then, I have established opencv and have all opencv Android samples and tutorials

My question is, I can't find a solid direction from here. I found that the answer to a related question here is tutorial, but I'm not sure if it can work with Android

I basically insist on trying to choose to continue opencv or try other tools. I've been reading like Tesseract or pure Java implementations

Any suggestions on the choice of direction will be appreciated. Thank you, cherich

TL; Dr needs advice on the best implementation of optical character recognition in Android

Solution

You can take a look at javacv, which is a java interface of OpenCV

You can check something like Tesseract Android tools (very decent): http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-android-tools/

This is a problem that we encountered when we started using it: bytes per pixel value for byte representation of image in Android (if you are using a camera)
