I want to develop a Business card reader or OCR Library (Open Source) for iPhone.

I saw reference for www.code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/ but i don't know how to use it. I also download zip file http://tesseract-ocr.googlecode.com/files/tesseract-3.00.tar.gz but don't know how to use it into my project.

Can anyone give me suggestion for this or any example will be very useful.

Thanks in Advance.

EXC_BAD_ACCESS:

He's never instantiating the 'tess' variable. Simply add [self startTesseract]; to the viewDidLoad() method in OCRDemoViewController and it will work like a charm.

    I wrote ~3 years ago, so my comment may not apply anymore. Anyway, here is the fix I was talking about (I've sent a pull request to the original author): https://github.com/nolanbrown/Tesseract-iPhone-Demo/commit/6338e61e413ca179dc0d0d7807e6510bad98a631 – Leo Gomes Jan 05 '14 at 11:06
