I want to use the text obtained from the real-time camera in App Inventor. So I tried to use the extension, but it didn't exist. could you help me?
Try OCR (optical character recognition):
Hello everybody,
for my project I needed to convert images to text. I read the forum tutorials, but at the end I decided to write an extension.
For this purpose I used the API of ocr.space .
First step You have to register to have your free api key.
[fromfile]
To get the text from a file in your phone
objectLocation: the file path in your phone
apiKey: your Api Key provided by OCRSpace
language: Language used for OCR (on ocr.space website you find the possible values)
fileType: supporte…
Image with text
[lorem]
OCR output
[googleocroutput2]
This guide, which was lost for a couple of years, has been revived and updated. provides for the optical character recognition of text on images (also from device camera) and in pdfs, using a google web app and google docs.
OCR Images and PDFs using Google Docs
sorry. In my opinion, it doesn't seem to match what I said. What you suggested is getting the text from the image. What I want is to get the text in real time like google camera.
