no need for Python. there’s a Google SDK, ML Kit, that will do the heavy lifting on this. if that’s not acceptable, TensorFlow, PyTorch, and ONNX support Android, albeit not as nicely integrated.
your image processing pipeline will be imageSource -> RGB encoding -> OCR -> profit. your OCR just needs an RGB encoded image. doesn’t matter if that’s a JPEG or YUV video feed at the source.
as for if there’s an app that fits OP’s exact use case, dunno.
Man, you over complicated this task. OP, in F-Droid there are three apps that are based on a popular OCR Python library called removed. Just search for this term on F-Droid and give those apps a try.
i mean, you’re right. i’m just saying it’s a little silly to ship a Python interpreter when there are easier, better supported ways to do the same thing.
looks like removed provides C bindings which are probably being utilized in those apps.
