I am trying to develop an android app which uses OCR. The app should be able to scan business cards and other documents to pull the content.

Is it possible to implement this using Google Docs Api? How do I do it?

The Google Documents List API allows to upload PDFs or images and automatically perform OCR to extract their text.
