Scan image and detect the text android

Question

I want to scan a image to detect the colour and text from the image. I have found OCR tutorial to do the same and implement it. But I don't want to capture image just want to scan image and detect text. Is there any library with which I can detect the text and colour from image when I scan ?

Thanks!

You could take a look at google's Vision API. It has said feature and is fairly easy to use.
