I want to make an offline iPhone application that can grab text from a picture. Can anyone suggest the best library which I can use. I heard ZBAR and ZXING can be used only for barcode reading. Is there any other OCR Libraries for iOS to read text from images. I expect your valuable suggestions as soon as possible.

Thanks in Advance..!

Answer 1

Currenlty offline OCR is possible only with Tesseract

You can get source code here

Here is the good tutorial about how to use Tesseract

Also you can perform OCR on multiple language. You can dowlnoad other language trained data here

Answer 2

You might want to look here. They offer a large variation of language they can detect and i heard only the best from their framework.

You can also test the framework live: live demo

Unfortunately i think it is very expensive to use this framework. But if you want an A1(all my Breaking Bad fans ;-)) framework this might be your best shot.
