Text Recognizer : Extract Text From Images

What is Text Recognition ?

Text recognition is the process of detecting text in images and video streams and recognizing the text contained therein. Once detected, the recognizer then determines the actual text in each block and segments it into lines and words
So in this tutorial i will design the Text Recognition by using the Google Cloud Vision API

Firstly, we need to add Dependency of Google Cloud Vision API in the app/build.gradle file

After placing Dependency I Place google vision API dependencies meta-data tag in the Application Tag in AndroidManifest.xml file

After placing Meta-data tag in the Manifest file then come to activity_main.xml and add the ImageView for showing the image and add the Two Button one for "Pick Up Image" and another one for "Recognize Text" 

 
Now Create Another Activity "activity_text_display.xml" for showing the recognized text from the image

Then implement Recognition functionality in MainActivity.java like Open Intent for choosing image from gallery and Pass the Recognized text to Another Activity named TextDisplay.java

MainActivity.java

TextDisplay.java
