scanning image and take text from it android

android, ocr

Solution

Have a look at a library called Tesseract. Here's a tutorial.

Problem

I have seen some applications that scan image and give back text. Is there any library for this or not? I mean either scanning text or taking a picture of it and identify characters? I have searched for OCR but I have not found material so as to read. Can you help me with this?
