ML Kit's text recognition APIs help with the recognition of text in any Latin-based language, using the mobile device camera. They are available both on-device and on-cloud.
The on-device API allows for recognition of sparse text, or text present in images. The cloud API does the same, but also allows for recognition of bulk text, such as in documents. The cloud API also supports recognition of more languages than device APIs are capable of.
Possible use cases for these APIs would be to recognize text in images, to scan for characters that may be embedded in images, or to automate tedious data entry.
