About ABBYY Real-Time Recognition SDK 1

ABBYY Real-Time Recognition SDK (a software development kit) provides a technology for recognizing text directly on the smartphone's camera preview screen.

The library is supplied as an AAR file, together with the resources to support different languages of the text.

Device Requirements

Android version: 4.4 or later for ARMv7 (armeabi-v7a) and ARMv8 (arm64-v8a) processors

Processor:

• Arm NEON support
• multi-core (augmented reality scenarios require 4 cores)

Camera:

• autofocus lens
• HD preview: generally recommended frame size is 720×1280, but it can vary depending on the scenario and processing speed

Memory requirements

Library operation in the text capture scenario takes up to:

• for texts in alphabetic languages — 40 MB RAM
• for texts in Chinese, Japanese, or Korean languages — 70 MB RAM

Library operation in the data capture scenario (for example, passport recognition) takes up to 170 MB RAM.

More Documentation

The distribution includes a Developer's Guide with a quick start section, full description of the API, details of technical capabilities and more. See also the help/javadoc folder in the distribution pack root.

Getting Started: Code Samples

The distribution pack includes code samples in Java, which demonstrate simple implementations of the basic scenarios and can help you start developing your own application. The samples are found in the sample-datacapture, sample-textcapture and scenarios-datacapture folders.

See the Guided Tour > Code Samples section in the Developer's Guide for usage details.
