tess-two

A fork of Tesseract Tools for Android (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 and Leptonica image processing libraries.

This project works with Tesseract v3.05.00dev and Leptonica v1.73. The required source code for Tesseract and Leptonica 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. 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 2.2 or higher
  • A v3.02+ trained data file for a language. Data files must be extracted 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 {
    compile 'com.rmtheis:tess-two:5.4.1'
}

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.
