Android Question IN SEARCH OF OCR that actually works (Please)

I am starting to get desperate. I need OCR to scan books.

I tried the project at https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/textrecognitionandroid-ocr.121018/#content but unfortunately, results are not consistent. Sometimes it works, other times nothing happens.

I downloaded this https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/textrecognitionandroid-ocr.121018/ but the project requires ocrrest and I could not find it anywhere.

I then proceeded to download https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/ocr-ocr-reader-complete.70659/.

Plenty of archives to download, but in the end, I get the error:

Maven artifact not found: androidx.annotation/annotation-experimental

I reinstalled the SDK following the instructions at https://www.b4x.com/b4a.html but still no joy.

Is there any OCR project that works out of the box ?

Does it need to happen locally on the device?
