The difference of Vuforia text recognition and OCR?

Hi,

I am writing a report for my final year project regarding vuforia text recgonition.Could someone please tell me what is the difference of Vuforia Text Recognition and OCR? are they the same? I am a little confused because from what I had found is that Vuforia can recognize text without the need to capture any image whereas OCR applications such as Tesseract requires the user to capture an image to recognize the text.

Thank you very much.

I think you need to do your own evaluation, which I guess would be part of your project.

Also, it depends on what package you are comparing against - I suggest you draw up a table and compare feature by feature for your purposes.

The reply received in the previous post still doesn't answer the question whether Vuforia uses OCR methodology or uses it's some other technique to detect text. Can anyone confirm this?
