External Lib

Post by TheBigDuck » Thu Sep 08, 2011 4:23 pm

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,

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