Trying to convert android screenshot to text by using this library. But conversion is not proper. getting some text as a w , / E " . Can we convert screenshot to text by using this library or it's only applicable to scanned images , documents. Please clarify. Or am i doing any mistake.

You're likely not making a mistake, no. You'd generally need to pre-process your input images using external tools in order to get the results you're looking for.
