Read correct OCR data(having less accuracy) using Tesseract

Question

Hi I have to develope an application to read OCR data .

After Googling I found that i can achieve it using Tesseract .

I got Tesseract source code from https://github.com/rmtheis/tess-two

I got its libraries by donloading NDK from http://dl.google.com/android/ndk/android-ndk-r9-windows-x86.zip

Now extracted it suppose I have extract it into E:\Software\android-ndk-r9 so I will set this path on Environment Variable

Right Click on MyComputer->Property->Advance-System-Settings->Advance->Environment Variable-> find PATH on second below Box and set like path like below picture

enter image description here

Now open cmd and go to on D:\Android Workspace\tess-two like below

enter image description here

Now downloaded other source code also from https://github.com/rmtheis/tess-two , and extract and import it and give it name OCRTest, like in my PC which is in D:\Android Workspace\OCRTest

enter image description here

So I have compile both two projects successfully by taking help from best OCR (Optical character recognition) example in android

But my problem is when I click on capture button then it is producing wrong text .

If anyone had done this correctly then please help me...

Thanks a lot in advance....

ABBYY offers its compact OCR Engine for Android
The latest Android smart phones have
    * good auto focus cameras and
    * more than 3 megapixel
    * so they are perfectly equipped to take sharp pictures of documents that contain textual information.
Implementing OCR on Android based applications can turn the phone in a information/text capture device. The data can be
    * processed directly on the phone, for example add a new contact to the address book
    * sent to a sever to get more information
    * sent to a text to speech engine
    * sent to a translation service

New in V4 R5: Java Native Interface Wrapper (JNIWrapper) is included!
New in V4 R7: Barcode Recognition is included!
