Which method returns text orientation?

[atgorvi]

There is mode "Orientation and script detection only. PSM_OSD_ONLY" in TessBaseAPI, which method returns text orientation

?

I don't think result of this mode (as many other things) is exposed in the Java API. You may need to see how it's accessed in the C++ code and expose it for yourself by modifying the library.

So, cpp files in tesseract4android/src/main/cpp/tesseract and java files in tesseract4android/src/main/java/com/googlecode/tesseract/android must be modified/added.

Hi, I want to pass in an image captured from the camera of the device, but when I do that, I don't get the text at all, the only time I get the right text is if I save the image in the asset folder or I pick it from the gallery.
Please how can I get this to work for the camera photo?

@chilex111 Hi, you are writing comment to completely unrelated issue. Also, for such questions you should use StackOverflow and not Github issues.

I will just say here that generally you should convert the image you get from Camera into standard Bitmap and then give that to Tesseract by calling setImage(bitmap). There is no direct support for giving the Image object which you receive from Camera2 API directly to Tesseract.
