This app bundles OCR functionality (based on Tesseract) that can be called from other apps via Intents. It listens for Intents with action "org.totschnig.ocr.action.RECOGNIZE" and expects an Uri pointing to a JPEG file as data. The recognized text is passed back in the extra "result" as an object of a parcelable data class Text, that must be copied into the client app.
