Yeah this EasyOCR looks really cool, a bit like an open source version of Universal Copy, which is very welcome!
But the hosted APKs having
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE">
</uses-permission>
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.INTERNET">
</uses-permission>
while the hosted code doesn't—and they're quite vocal about it not having it—doesn't exactly instill trust.
Care to explain @moses?
