Is number recognition on iPhone possible in real-time?

Question

I need to recognise numbers from the camera image on iPhone, in real-time. I know there will be no more than 5 digits on the image.

Is this problem realistic to solve gi

Answer 1

It should be computationally possible. There are apps that can get a bar code in real time and also an app that does real time translation. (Word Lens). I'm not sure what libraries they use, however.
