    This may be a long shot, but, I'd love 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 working for iOS.
    See this chaps efforts to compile for iOS already...

    Would anyone have the faintest idea or care to try to implement this?
    I would consider paying for the work if it could be done...

    Hi Duffdaddy,
    I am doing a project with OCR and unity. I need to recognize a text using OCR in unity. I have searched about it and cant find a start solution. Can you help me in this?
    Thanks.

    also interested on this..

    my initial idea was to install the node version on some server,
    then send data there for conversion.. but that wouldnt be really ideal (and also slow, costly)

    there are some .net wrappers, havent tested yet though
    like https://github.com/charlesw/tesseract
