Tesseract is not Java code. However, its C/C++ code appears to have been
ported to ARM, and it runs on various embedded systems so it cannot be too
big or too CPU-intensive.

You will want to look at the NDK and determine how to create a wrapper for
it to allow you to call into Tesseract code from your Java-based Android
project:

2009-09-23 Thread bseib

I wasn't aware of the NDK for android -- wow, it looks awesome, and it
would *really* help my app with some image processing. So here's my
dilemma:

Does anyone know if all android devices are ARM at the moment? It
seems a bit of a risk to depend on this as an app developer.  Or
should we just presume that any non-ARM tools/compilers would become
available to us app developers as non-ARM handsets appear?

Can anyone shed some light on the facts? I could really benefit from
some native code without potentially alienating a subset of Android
users. I'm sure there are people who have considered all this with
respect to Native Code vs. Different Handset Manufacturers.

Questions about the NDK are best asked in the Google Group dedicated to
the NDK:
