Aedict OCR

About this app

Aedict3 OCR is a stand-alone application which performs OCR (optical character recognition) of Japanese text, preferably on a simple white background. You can store multiple pages of Japanese text, gradually perform OCR over parts of these pages, correct the OCRed text and analyze the text with Aedict3.

Aedict3 OCR uses an off-line OCR engine. Such engines uses a lot of processor power, which in turn will drain your battery faster and may heat up your phone in extreme cases. The algorithm is good, but it is not perfect and it may mis-find some characters. You will get best results for a black-on-white sharp images, with uniform white background, such as printouts. The algorithm is probably next to unusable on color-y magazine covers and hand-drawn kanjis (found for example on temples).

Aedict3 OCR works on Android 4.0 and greater.

Ratings and reviews

All it does is complain about not being able to find the image it just took. Hasn't been updated in years. Useless.

This worked wonderfully with an older Android version, but forget about putting it on a new phone.

does not work at all. Try it only if you have a super super phone
