OCR recognition is performed using the Firebase SDK on Android and iOS, and using Windows.Media.OCR from Microsoft on Win10, and as such the recognition accuracy and result types can be different in the different platforms.

On Android, if the recognition engine is not installed on the device, the device may require internet connection to download the engine. This is done using Google Play services, so it is required that the device as Google Play services enabled. The first times you make an OCR request, if the engine is not yet downloaded you will get an error.
