Try this code out . It allows you to take a picture and displays the text .There are minor bugs in this code .Try this code on letters typed in notepad
Ignore the various files being placed in the tessdata folder . I am trying to read maths equation hence i need those . I have commented out the other files, it shouldn't bother you. If you are willing to try , try Mobile Vision API.
Hope this helps :)
