A wrap for this Github project. Touch a green box with yellow text when the scanner is active and it will speak out the text in the box (using the Android Text-To-Speech Engine).
You need B4A V6.00 to run this project.
Change the Java code to your liking. Read the postings in this thread - it will give the a very good idea of how to set up this project.
Posting the following:
1. B4A library files - copy then to your additional library folder
2. B4A sample project
3. The Java code
4. OCRCompleteRes.zip - extract it and copy the folder to be on the same folder level as that of the /Files and /Objects folders of the B4A project
5. resource.zip - extract it and copy the folder to be on the same folder level as that of the /Files and /Objects folders of the B4A project
6. The .apk file generated by the B4A project is here should you want to test it - https://www.dropbox.com/s/jio7fc29ezclqxq/b4aOCRComplete.apk?dl=0
7. This is the link to Other library files (jars) that you either need in your additional library folder or in the libs folder of the library folder structure to compile the Java code - click on the red text to download.
You will also need the following libraries by @@corwin42 (download from the forum):
AppCompat V3.20 - https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...compatible-with-older-android-versions.48423/
DesignSupport V2.00 - https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/designsupport-additional-material-design-components.58893/
