title: OCR for Equations using Tesseract for iOS
body: <p>I'm developing an app for iOS that uses tesseract to convert a photographed image of an equation into text, so that it can then be solved.  It will be something like what is in this tutorial: <a href="http://blog.ayoungprogrammer.com/2013/01/equation-ocr-part-1-using-contours-to.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://blog.ayoungprogrammer.com/2013/01/equation-ocr-part-1-using-contours-to.html</a></p>
  
  <p>I know that this concept works on Windows using OpenCV and tesseract, but I would like to have this on iOS.  I'm not very familiar with C++ and am trying to use OpenCV and tesseract on iOS.</p>
  
  <p>There has already been a question on this: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14419947/ocr-for-equations-and-formulae-on-the-ios-platform-xcode">OCR for Equations and Formulae on the iOS Platform (Xcode)</a> , but I know that it is indeed possible and not super ambitious, as it works on Windows.  </p>
  
  <p>I also believe that both OpenCV and Tesseract are supported on iOS, so there MUST be a way to get equation detection to work on iOS too.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
