You will not need to download android ndk, cygwin and ant. You will also not need to set environment variables.
Requirements:
- Eclipse or any other IDE that has been configured for android development.
Step 1.
Download the pre-built tess-two library as .7za here and extract the tess-two folder to any location. NB/ Do not extract into your workspace!!!!!
Step 2.
Download Simple-Android-OCR-master project from here and extract to the same location as the tess-two library.
Step 3.
Import the two projects into the eclipse workspace as shown below.
go to File>Import>Existing android code into workspace>Root Folder: Browse. Select the folder that contains the two projects.
You may encounter errors in-case you extracted them in you workspace.
Click Finish.
At this time, you should be able to run the Simple-Android-OCR-master project.In case you have errors, don’t panic.continue reading.
You can import each project at a time in case you had extracted in different locations.
Step 4. Mark the tess-two project as a library if its not marked already.
Right click>properties>Android>Check is library.
Step 5. Reference the tess-two project in the other project.
Right click project >Properties>Android>Add, select tess-two.
At this time, all errors should have disappeared and you should be able to run Simple-Android-OCR-master project and test the app on a device with a camera.
I will write another tutorial very soon on how to improve the output. Feel free to leave a comment.

Thanks a hell lot brother. You saved my life! Looking forward to more such tutorials from you that make life easier for us novice programmers.
ReplyDeleteOne question - how do I improve on the recognition?
Thanks. Please recommend this blog on Google +. About your issue, am researching on that, if i find a solution i will definitely share here.
Deletehttps://github.com/rmtheis/android-ocr
Deletetry this project it's more power full then Simple-Android-OCR-master project
but remember use tess-two library that provided by over master mind Francis Solomon
hello Shaurya sen....How can you success to this project? cna you help me?
Deletesir kindly make its video tutorial. I shall be thankful of you.
Deleteplease please please please
I have successfully programmed an application for my mobile device after reading this article.
DeleteI find that the Minecraft apk
used for mobile devices is also a useful application for readers to download necessary applications quickly. I share it here:http://stagenews360.com/
hi Francis, i am new user to android, honestly i started today itself, and facing some problems in step 4. its showing something like " could not accept changes". i know it would be appearing kinda silly to you but can you help me out. i will be grateful.
ReplyDeleteCheck if the tess-two project is already added but marked "x " in red. If that so, first remove it and make sure you have nothing then add again.
DeleteCould you make a screen shot and send to me on whatsapp or facebook? my whatsapp is +254732382597 facebook email is email2mefrancis@gmail.com
DeleteSolo went through that work, it is great bro. Thank you for expanding open source concepts
ReplyDeleteWelcome sir.
DeleteThanks a lot bro this is amazing blog for me it works 110% for me
ReplyDeleteAfter Making long google search of one month i found your blog that helps me using tess-two library..
i am not able to generate tess-two's .SO file and your library provides pre-build .SO file that enables me to run my project
https://github.com/rmtheis/android-ocr
Which is more accurate then the
Simple-Android-OCR-master project
Thanks Again Bro...
Keep Continue with this nice and lovely Blog..
Sony for not replying earlier. I haven’t come up with a way to get accurate results. but there are lot of suggestions like, image cropping.Once I get time to experiment, I will post the results in another blog.Thanks
Deletetry this it gives accurate results
DeleteAPK : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=edu.sfsu.cs.orange.ocr

Hi Francis Solomon , thank you so much for this nice blog and I hope to provide us with such easy examples about many android implementations .
ReplyDeleteI have a problem when I want to start running Simple-Android-OCR-master , everything is fine and no error at all but when I start to run Simple-Android-OCR-master it doesn't run and the console show this message:
[2014-07-17 14:04:58 - Simple-Android-OCR] Dx 1 error; aborting
[2014-07-17 14:04:58 - Simple-Android-OCR] Conversion to Dalvik format failed with error 1
----------------------------
I made my own application and tried to use the TessBaseAPI but it tells that "cannot find tess-two.apk!!" , also tells me "cannot find TessBaseAPI"
please help me, thank you.
I have the same problem, could you help us please Francis Solomon? Thanks!
Deletei was helping a friend who had the same problem and the issue was that he was using the tess-two project which he had extracted from the Tess-two-master.zip.you need to use the tess-two project i have provided here and NOT just any other tess-two project.
DeleteSir francis, is this applicable in windows? can you do for that? thank you
Deletegood day. I would just like to ask if the simple OCR android app that you have provided here can read any type of fonts like : times new roman, calibri, comic sans, etc.? I was able to run the application but sometimes the results are not accurate. Letter "B" sometimes become letter "O". If it does read any type of font, I am thinking that I may have gone wrong at some points or I might be lacking something to make it work perfectly. I am new to android programming but I am really interested to learn.. please help me.
ReplyDeleteplease to reupload tess-two.7za
ReplyDeletebecause tess-two file in dropbox it was deleted or moved. thanks
The file you're looking for has been moved or deleted.
ReplyDeletei have fixed it

DeleteFor ANDROID STUDIO developers, here's what I did on my Windows 8.1 machine.
ReplyDelete--PART 2--
10) Open a completely new Android Studio project and follow these instructions https://coderwall.com/p/eurvaq/tesseract-with-andoird-and-gradle from section "Configure tess-two with gradle" but for safety don't delete any folder or file even if he suggests to do so.
I had some trouble with "build.gradle" file in "libraries\tess-two" directory, but it is sufficient to change some value on it. In my case I have:
"classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.14.0'" instead of "classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.9.+' "
and
" compileSdkVersion 21
buildToolsVersion "21.0.2"
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 21
} "
instead of
" compileSdkVersion 19
buildToolsVersion "19.0.3"
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 8
targetSdkVersion 19}".
Note that the last step means you have to go in "File -> Project Structure -> Select a module from the left subwindow -> Dependencies (last tab) ->Press the green "+" on your right -> Module Dependency -> OK"
11) Download this project https://github.com/GautamGupta/Simple-Android-OCR and copy&paste in your new project the code in these files: "SimpleAndroidOCRActivity.java", "main.xml", "strings.xml". Of course your files may have different names (in my case "MainActivity.java", "activity_main.xml", "strings.xml") so some renaming in the code may be necessary.
Also open your "AndroidManifest.xml" and add at the end (but before "/manifest") what you find between "/application" and "/manifest" in the just downloaded "AndroidManifest.xml" (it means that you have to add "uses-permissions" and "uses-feature" tag).
12) Download from here https://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/downloads/list the file in the language you prefer (eg: tesseract-ocr-3.02.eng.tar.gz ), extract it and locate the file "yourLanguage.traineddata" (eg: "eng.traineddata"). Forget for a moment your Android Studio IDE, open the folder of your project and go in "app-->src-->main". Create here a new folder and name it "assets". Open it and create another folder named "tessdata". Put there your .traineddata file.
13) Hope it was helpful, I obtained this after weeks of googling during free time, sometimes reaching page #10+. If I forgot something please forgive me and please reply this post without hesitation. Since I started android programming only 2 months ago I won't be able to answer your questions. Forgive the mess I made in this blog due to special character issues and my bad english too.
Ciao belli!

DeleteHello,
DeleteThanks a lot for such a helpful article. I cloud run the application according to your instruction, but it cloud not read the English text properly.Please help me to resolve the issue.
Sorry for late reply, I'm glad it was useful for you.
DeleteIf you can not read english text properly I suggest you to train tesseract as I wrote in a reply of the first part post. Meanwhile, besides Qt-box-editor, I found Cowboxer, another box editor much faster than the first one. If you are interested, this is the link:
https://code.google.com/p/cowboxer/
Hope this reply was useful too, greetings!

DeleteHi Matz,
DeleteI have done all steps successfully,app is running also but here problem is : after convert text is not same which is in image.only 20 % text match with actual image and extra unused character also add automatically.
pls tell me how to get exact text after read the image
Hi, i have a problem when i run "android update project --target 1 --path C:\tess\tess-two", this is the error "android update project --target 1 --path C:\tess\tess-two". Can you help me?
ReplyDeleteWhen i type the "android update project --target 1 --path C:\tess\tess-two" command at start i get some errors but in the end it says that some files where indeed update. Is that how its supposed to work?
ReplyDeleteAlso even though i added the JAVA_HOME variable as you explain i still cant get "ant release" to work.
I am looking desperately for some help if you could so kind. You will save me from so much trouble.
Thanks in advance.
I'm sorry but I don't know very much how Tesseract works. All I can suggest is to reboot your machine after adding JAVA_HOME variable but I'm pretty sure you have already done this :/
ReplyDeleteAnyway at first ignore errors if you can still reach the end of the execution. I remember somewhere I had errors too but in the end everything worked correctly. Good luck!
Hye, im a newbie to android and OCR...my question is can i use this OCR library for plate number recognition that recognize image capture in black background and plate number in white color?
ReplyDeleteHey, first of all thanks a lot for your response, i was away for a couple of days and i just saw it.
ReplyDeleteI did try out both parts you have posted despite of the errors and everything seems to be working until i press the "check" in order to OCR my pic. If you faced the same mistake please share any info :)
Either way i'll try to configure some stuff around and run it again today and hope for the best.
If you have any info related to my reply it would really appreciated if you could share it.
Again, thanks in advance.
Oh, when i said everything works until OCR-ing the image i meant that the app crashes and you need to restart it. Just to clarify :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to help don't worry^^ This because I faced so much pain by trying to figure out how to get it work..
ReplyDeleteWell, if you can execute every instruction on your command prompt, you probably have successfully intall it on your machine. If you can also correctly build your source code, I guess you are still on the right way. For errors on execution (such crashes) it is probably just a simple issue of your code: by googling your Logcat output or checking the available source code of this post everything you should work.
Hello once again,
ReplyDeletei did try your guide step by step extremely carefully and i never moved on the next step unless i had no problems or errors on the previous one.
Right now everything looks good in android studio since i have 0 errors but when i run the app on my phone everything works fine until i press the "check" to OCR the image (as mentioned in a previous post).
I get 0 Logcat or Run errors but still no results :( .
I would really appreciate if you have any heads up to share or any update and if you could possibly share a picture with how does the app look like after successfully OCR-ing an image.
I know i might be asking too much but from all the tutorials i have ran through, your tutorial has helped me a lot.
Once again, thanks in advance.
Do you have in your code these following lines?
ReplyDeleteBitmap bitmap = *get a bitmap of your image*;
bitmap = bitmap.copy(Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888, true);
TessBaseAPI baseApi = new TessBaseAPI();
baseApi.setDebug(true);
baseApi.init(DATA_PATH, lang);
baseApi.setImage(bitmap);
String recognizedText = baseApi.getUTF8Text();
baseApi.end();
Log.v("Check", "OCRED TEXT: " + recognizedText);
NOTE:
1) DATA_PATH is defined like this:
public static final String DATA_PATH = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString() + "/YourAppName/";
2) "lang" is a string representing your tess language (eg: String lang = "eng")
3) "bitmap" is the input bitmap image
4) If you have no error with the third line it means that you installed tesseract successfully and that it is just a problem in your code. Be sure to have your bitmap not rotated.
5) Check what Log is reporting with his recognizedText string
PS: Check this out (the complete code):
ReplyDeletehttps://github.com/GautamGupta/Simple-Android-OCR
And in particular this, where I found those lines:
https://github.com/GautamGupta/Simple-Android-OCR/blob/master/src/com/datumdroid/android/ocr/simple/SimpleAndroidOCRActivity.java

ReplyDeleteRemoved both detailed problem info because i finally made it work :D
ReplyDeleteIt was a small uppercase error in settings.gradle (which didnt even show as warning and i had to almost zoom my face in the screen to see it :P).
The only "issue" im trying to deal with atm is the fact that words are not recognized really accurate so if you have any thoughts to share on this i'd glad to test them.
Thanks for your help so far, im really happy it finally works for me too :)
I'm glad to be helpful :D
ReplyDeleteYeah, recognition is not really accurate with standard sets... I can suggest to train tessdata by yourself, as I did (pain is never ending:) ). For more info you can read here
http://www.resolveradiologic.com/blog/2013/01/15/training-tesseract/
Please, in case be sure to enumerate your file in the right order, without skip any numer with files "tla.test_font.exp0.tif" (ie: 0,2,3,5 is wrong but 0,2,3,3 is correct, I had hard long times to figure it out).
Again, good luck!
*I mean... 0,2,3,5 is wrong but 0,1,2,3 is correct XD Dunno what happened
ReplyDeleteAwesome i will check that first thing tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, if i wanna put 2 or more languages to be recognized at the same time do i just move the "lang.traineddata" in the same file?
Should i do any major changes to the "lang" variable in the activity.java?
Had some troubles during the weekend and didnt have much time to work on it. Thanks so much for the advice. I'll give them a try as soon as i can.
ReplyDeleteAgain thanks so much for all the help.
Thanks Mr.Francis Solomon for your post, but it not give acurate output...
ReplyDeleteMy app is crashing and what type of text it will read
ReplyDeletei follow your tutorial but i got this error and i am working on android studio linux based os

Awesome tutorial. It worked. But how to train the ocr?
ReplyDeletethank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Solo for the tutorial.
ReplyDeleteThe project builds successfully without any errors in eclipse but as soon as I run it ,it gives StackOverFlowError and eclipse asks to close due to internal error.I am using MacBook Pro with Yosemite and 4GB RAM.Can you please suggest a remedy?
Is anybody else facing the same issue?
This tutorial and some people on the comments are way to awesome with all the work and the help they give.
ReplyDeleteI would like to ask something somewhat irrelevant for some bonus work that im trying out.
How could someone get the OCRed text when it shows and store into a database?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Can you say how it can be done in android studio.
ReplyDeletehello
ReplyDeletei have been searching for a while , as i knew from my past experience programming for windows , using an API and DLL is a peace of cake to link , use , and distribute the final app to clients , when i came to android and i saw how much is integrated with java , so with same concept i was looking for a pure java written library assuming it will be easier to link, use and distribute with android , found this one
http://roncemer.com/software-development/java-ocr/
with links to https://sourceforge.net/projects/javaocr/
the liberality passed a lot of modification and development , many releases and not enough documentation , after getting used to i discovered it wont work direct on android as it relies on the java.awt which do not exist in android , android have its own android,graphics literary , tried to work around , put got suspicious to try to use any porting options to use within android , after i know that it might be a nightmare to distribute your app later ,,,
sorry ..for the intro , let's get the long story short ...
ReplyDeleteanyone tried the literary in distribution to mobile devices , is it working , any documentation , any limitations , that will save a lot of time before giving a try
thnx
seems that cloud based OCR service API will be the solution for now
ReplyDeleteApp Crash when i click the image
ReplyDeleteThis tutorial is helpful, Thanks for sharing but its not reading exactly from the image.
ReplyDeleteHow it can be done in Android studio
ReplyDeletehow do you improve accuracy when doing the OCR, and is it possible to OCR handwritten text

ReplyDeleteHey gyss! Fantastic app there out.
ReplyDeleteI tried this. It works really well. But sometimes I dont know why i get an error like

I am not able to detect where correctly the program is going wrong. Please help me.

This is an excellent tutorial, and works exactly as advertised. Kudos to you Francis! Do you have any idea why the OCR conversion is so poor? Have you had better success with this tess-two?
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing. Your blog has given me that thing which I never expect to get from all over the websites. Nice post guys!
