Enabling Camera and OCR on Android Mobile APP

[former_member395775]

Hi

We are developing an app for Android Platform. Using UI5 Application as our other application runs on UI5

Expectation is that:- App should scan Image and extract text out of it. App should enable android camera (Phone, or Tablet) and make a use of OCR and extract text which can integrate with Ui5 or FIORI custom app.

Best example to explain requirement:

If I scan a Bankers check using Android base mobile camera output should show text details on check. Like Name of issuer, Date, Amount and Signature.

I have read blogs for Anyline, Tesseract and few other OCR as well.

Help reuqired in which OCR can work in UI5 and how to enable camera using SAP WebIde.

Hi Manoj,

For enabling the camera & Barcode scanner i used Cordova plugins in the ui5 code, for more information refer these.
