About AndroidOCR

AndroidOCR is an open-source Android optical character recognition (OCR) application built on the Tesseract 5 OCR engine. It lets users extract text from images directly on their mobile device, with no requirement for cloud processing. The app supports recognition of over 120 languages, including the ability to process multiple languages within a single image, and can also identify math equations from visual content.

It includes practical tools like image cropping to select specific areas for recognition, one-tap copying of extracted text to the clipboard, and the ability to share images directly from the device gallery to the app for quick processing. All recognition work is completed offline on the user’s device to protect privacy. It is suited for Android users who need to digitize text from documents, signs, or other visual sources, particularly those who work with multilingual content or prioritize data privacy.
