How to use multiple language support on Android with Tesseract?

I'm trying to make use of Tesseract TessbaseApi and I want to use two languages so that I can recognize for example English and Greek characters together.

I found that Tesseract 3.02 supports the recognition of multiple languages (Merging two OCR trained data).

But how can I use this in Android?

Solution

  • You can set via the init method:

    baseApi.init(dataPath, "eng+ell");
