About ABBYY Mobile Capture SDK

ABBYY Mobile Capture 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: 5.0 or later for ARMv7 (armeabi-v7a) and ARMv8 (arm64-v8a) processors

Processor:

• Arm NEON or x86 SSE support
• multi-core

Camera:

• autofocus lens
• HD preview: generally recommended frame size is 1080×1920, but it can vary depending on the scenario and processing speed

Memory requirements

Library operation 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.

Library operation in the image capture scenario takes up to 35 MB RAM.

Please note, that your device may require more memory for certain processing scenario than specified in this section. For example, the next parameters may increase required RAM:

• recognition threads number
• device speed
• camera resolution
• recognition complexity

The higher are these indices, the more RAM is required.

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-ui-imagecapture, sample-datacapture, sample-textcapture, sample-imagecapture, sample-imagecapture-camera2, sample-coreapi and scenarios-datacapture folders.

Note: Availability of the samples depends on your distribution version.

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