[OtherOS] Lightweight Linux distro with tesseract 3

view full story
linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – I am still new to Linux and have never built, compiled or made a package and have little idea what these things mean. However, the distro I am on (Lubuntu) does not have tesseract 3. When I went to the google page to learn how to compile it etc, the instructions were appalling and aimed at people who had done this sort of thing before. So I am thinking I would perhaps like to try a linux distro which has tesseract 3 available without having to learn to program these things. Any help would be appreciated. (Hardware)

How to use Tesseract 43 weeks 4 days ago

I am trying to read out the text contained in the following image:

I want to use tesseract (https://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/) for this but it only gives the following result: nn nx as nn nx as nn nx as nn nx sx nn nx sx nn nz nn nn nz nz nn nz ns nn nz wn nn nz ws nn nz zn nn nz as nn nz 57 nn ns ns nn ns u

Does someone with some experience in tesseract / OCR have any advice?

tesseract + libwebp problem 18 weeks 4 days ago

Thank you ezacaria, your solution worked like a charm. (downloading tesseract-ocr-3.02.eng.tar.gz manually and moving its files to tessdata)From my point tesseract-data(-eng) is incomplete. (Interestingly, this problem did not consistently appear with every type of input while using tesseract...)

Tesseract is the best program for converting image to text, on Ubuntu/Linux. I’ve tried several OCR (Optical Character Recognition) applications but its accuracy is certainly higher than any other applications. Tesseract is a simple and easy to use command line utility. It’s cross-platform application, and of course – it’s a free and open source software!

I trying to train tesseract for a new font which can be used in my android app. i need to train for digits only. so i had created one training image, box file and unicharset file.

i have followed this http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/wiki/TrainingTesseract2.

when I tried to run tesseract it says, bad read of inttemp!. How can i create one?

Im using tesseract-ocr package on Ubuntu Linux, I have been using it for a while and I think that in order to improve the accuracy of the OCR I only need a subset of letters from the alphabet.

Whether tesseract-ocr 2.03 can be installed in Fedora-11 and if so how to do? I installed - but failed to run tesseract phototest.tif test.

I have some code in C++ which used Tesseract (desktop application). I want to use this code in my android app. So I have put these C++ source code to JNI folder and configured Android.mk file based on the NDK example but I have trouble with build this project.

Many people want to create their own Linux distro, perhaps for fun, perhaps to help them learn more about Linux, or perhaps because they have serious neds to solve. But the secret is this: it doesn't need to be hard to get the perfect distro for you.

I'm building a simple Tesseract application on Android it goals is to recognize simple command like CALL, MESSAGE, etc. Because the number of commands is small and fixed, I want to add them to white list so the program can achieve higher accuracy. How can I do that? Many thanks in advance :)
