Question

I want to extract the text information (Chinese) from the images that picked by users with their mobiles. So I am here wondering is there any open source/free OCR (Pattern recognition) software for mobile platform. Currently I am doing with iPhone (And android, blackberry platform?)

I've searched stackoverflow but seems there only are some questions about C#/.Net

Thank you in advance~

If you're into writing your own solution, this paper seems to be applicable.

OTHER TIPS

ABBYY even has a mobile OCR SDK for iPhone, Android, and more, so you can recognize text on your device before using web services, at all: http://www.abbyy.com/mobileocr/ However, it is not free and you will have to buy a license for commercial purposes.

GrayWizardx is right there are few servers that provide this kind of services like kooaba

And may be it will be a bad idea to re-invent the whole wheel
