How can I use Tesseract in Android?
You need to use tess-two project for working with Tesseract on Android.
The tess-two 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.
Adding tess-two to your project:
add to build.gradle:
dependencies {
compile 'com.rmtheis:tess-two:5.4.1'
}
Using Tesseract:
import com.googlecode.tesseract.android.TessBaseAPI;
private String extractText(Bitmap bitmap) throws Exception{
TessBaseAPI tessBaseApi = new TessBaseAPI();
tessBaseApi.init(DATA_PATH, "eng");
tessBaseApi.setImage(bitmap);
String extractedText = tessBaseApi.getUTF8Text();
tessBaseApi.end();
return extractedText;
}
You can looking on my simple one-class example of using Tesseract for Android. It contains only 200 lines of Java code.

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,
