ANother option could be to post the image to a webapp  possibly at a later moment   and have it OCR-processed there without the C   -  Java port issues and possibly clogging the mobile CPU

OCR can be pretty CPU intensive  you might want to reconsider doing it on a smart phone   That aside  to my knowledge the popular OCR libraries are Aspire and Tesseract   Neither are straight up Java  so you re not going to get a drop-in Android OCR library   However  Tesseract is open source  GitHub hosted infact   so you can throw some time at porting the subset you need to Java   My understanding is its not insane C    so depending on how badly you need OCR it might be worth the time   So short answer  No   Long answer  if you re willing to work for it

Yes there is   But OCR is very vast  I know an Android application that has an OCR feature  but that might not be the kind of OCR you are looking after   This open-source application is called Aedict  and it does OCR on handwritten Japanese characters  It is not that slow   If it is not what you are looking for  please precise which kind of characters  and which data input  image or X-Y touch history
