First of all Android studio is an IDE :)
Secondly, Once you draw the character over your android phone, take that Bitmap and pass to Firebase ML kit which is free if you are using in your mobile only. Once you pass the Bitmap, the ML kit will process and you will have your text. In the below link, they have provided plenty of easy examples as well.

It is a just a generic solution but I hope this will work.
Let me know if you are having any other doubt/solution/questions .
Thankyou.
