Hey guys, I’m searching for a good app that can do the text recognotion stuff the iPhone can. I have a iPhone for work and was quite impressed that it recognizes text and links that good. Is there anything like it on Android? Bonus points if its Open Source.
No there is nothing FOSS. Everything there is is proprietary. Even though Tesseract OCR is FOSS.
You can use Google Camera and Google Lens on GrapheneOS I think. Google Lens may need play services.
That seems to be the only viable option. Someday I need to build something like this myself.
There are things. Keep an Eye on the GrapheneOS Camera (available through their appstore). For purely Text OCR there are also some PDF scanner apps.
