How can I use Tesseract in Android?

Issue

I have searched on the net for a couple of hours. I got many answers saying we need to use NDK, etc. for "Tesseract" for WINDOWS.

But I didn't get any step-by-step/proper explanation of what should be done when NDK is installed. How to get the .so files? I have finished installing NDK and Cygwin. To check if it's done properly, I entered make -v and it gave the expected output.

Can anyone who has used "Tesseract" tell me how they have done it? (I have downloaded "Mezzofanti", but there I didn't find any of the "Tesseract" files.)

Solution

You can refer this document, It gives ths step by step But you need to do is to set up the tesseract-android-tools project as a library project in Eclipse, and tell your project to refer to the library project. So you’ll need two projects in Eclipse,
