Would you be willing to publish the iOS OCR server you made? It would be greatly useful in some of my products, as as you’ve noted other options have either low-quality results (tesseract, some cloud-based solutions) or are expensive in comparison for large amounts of images (most cloud-based solutions). That and it’d allow some of us to put our old phones to use.

Here's something i've used a few times. It's not using the phone, but rather a mac mini that's sitting in the corner. Quickly made this repo -- mind the mess.

I’m afraid neither user or the repo exist on github - perhaps did you typo?
Odd. I’ll fix tonight.
It looks like they flagged that account for some reason -- new account. will edit when fixed.
Should work now.
