Did some tests and all the pictures I took in portrait mode result in complete rubbish shown after processing...

But in correct view, recognition is actually quite good (Language: German).
The images are rotated according to orientation sensor readings. This means that the images will end likely in wrong orientation if the camera is pointing down - there's no way to detect the orientation reliably in this situation. How could the phone know which is the correct orientation?

I will add an feature which allows to lock the orientation in camera mode.
