Is there any good OCR API for iPhone and/or Android phones?

Question

Would like to do the following: take picture and convert the text in image into encoded text. I was just wondering if there are any companies providing OCR API for iPhone and/or Android phones?

You will find some more information over here - ABBYY Mobile OCR Engine for Iphone

There is a port of the Google Tesseract OCR 2.4 to Android apparently. See Using tesseract on android

ABBYY couldn't be used because their ridicules, lengthy and hard to understand licensing agreement. Too many restrictions to do anything useful. – Mark K Jan 21 '11 at 03:43

Have you looked at Tesseract OCR?

Also mentioned here: Business card reader or OCR Library for iPhone SDK
