B4A Library OCR

This library will extract text from images via OCR.

Requirements:

1- B4A 3.82.

2- Get an API Key HERE (you need to create an account).

3- Internet connection.


How to install:

- Copy the OCR.jar and OCR.xml to your additional libraries directory.

Usage:
B4X:
Private myOCR As OCR

myOCR.Initialize(Me, "myOCR", "<YOUR_API_KEY>")

myOCR.ExtractFromImage(File.Combine(File.DirAssets, "sample.gif"), "", "scene", 20000)

That's it.

You can upload an image or reference one via a URL, the service will return the extracted text (if any).


NOTES:

- OCR is not perfect, so, expect some weird results or no results at all.

- It is a free service but some quotas apply.


For more details, see the attached project.
