Android OCR Native library

I am trying to develop a Android OCR app (for home use).

I had the idea to use the Asprise OCR in the app but instead of the windows version I was gonna use the Linux version.

The problem is, I don't know how to handle the native libraries. They have the extension .SH I'm developing in Eclipse.

I would recommend you to use Android Studio instead of Eclipse and related to the OCR library, you could use Tesseract, which is an open source library developed by Google.

Here you have more information and a practical example to follow:

Google recently released an OCR API, so you probably want to use that: https://developers.google.com/vision/text-overview

Just add the following line to your dependecies:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-vision:9.2.0'
