3. Move everything from the extracted zip to /Android/data/ca.fuwafuwa.kaku
4. Go to your phone's settings and find the setting "Draw over other apps" - enable that setting for Kaku (where the setting is depends on Android version, so you may have to Google this)
5. Launch Kaku and hopefully it should work - double tap to OCR

Note: The handwriting keyboard for manual corrections is currently hard-coded to Google Handwriting keyboard
