Title: OCR Tesseract
Post by: Duffdaddy on June 18, 2013, 07:17:13 PM

This may be a long shot, but, I'd love Playmaker to implement some form of OCR for iOS.
There's an opensource package called Tesseract for OCR, but I'm not smart enough to get it into Unity, let alone into Playmaker.
See this chaps efforts to compile for iOS already...

Hi,

 I would make that request on the unity forum to start with, because here it requires smart people like Prime31 cause it needs to be integrated both in Unity and xcode with some methods binding and all that, so not a trivial task indeed.
