Of course, I'm sorry I couldn't place it properly. What I am aiming to do is host the application using tesseract somewhere on the internet, and provide the users with a nice frontend, so that everytime I switch/format my machines I do not have to keep reinstalling everything. Users could just go the link and upload the images and get the OCR results. Since I got stuck, I thought maybe there is an android application that allows me to perform OCR anytime I want without needing me to boot up my laptop. My main goal is this : make tesseract as easily and conveniently available to users as possible - maybe an android app dedicated solely to this purpose, or an app that could be accessed just by visiting a link. Kind of like google lens, you get what I mean?
