I want to use an external OCR lib written in C++ in my mobile app.

The idea is to pass the lib an image captured by the camera, and the lib hands me back text.

IS this possible with RunRev Mobile?

Hi,

This should be possible if you know how to use the lib. It won't work of the lib uses private frameworks (due to Apple's SDK license conditions) or Windows-specific APIs, for example.

Kind regards,

Mark

Hey TheBigDuck,

Did you figure out how to make this work?

Thanks so much.

I have something using Tesseract but it's only armv7 and crashes on the simulator
