    Man, you over complicated this task. OP, in F-Droid there are three apps that are based on a popular OCR Python library called tesseract. Just search for this term on F-Droid and give those apps a try.

      i mean, you’re right. i’m just saying it’s a little silly to ship a Python interpreter when there are easier, better supported ways to do the same thing.

      looks like tesseract provides C bindings which are probably being utilized in those apps.
