OCR with android app

I want to create an app where people can take a photo of any text and the app recognizes the text, copies it and puts it into an editable area.

The language of the text shouldnt matter. I just want to automatically recognize the characters. A later feature could be to provide text translations.

Is there any ocr library for android apps? As i remember google wanted to provide an api for ocr (last information about it i got in the year 2011). As it seems there is no api for it yet.

you may want to look at Tesseract OCR Libraries. They are free and open sourced. https://code.google.com/p/tesseract-android-tools/
