Tesseract is a commercial quality OCR engine originally developed at HP
|
|
|
|
|
between 1985 and 1995. In 1995, this engine was among the top 3 evaluated
|
|
|
|
|
by UNLV. It was open-sourced by HP and UNLV in 2005.
|
|
|
|
|

|
You will need to get one of the language packs in order to do anything
|
|
|
|
|
useful with tesseract, and that language pack tarball should be present
|
|
|
|
|
in the same directory as the SlackBuild script when the package is created.
|
|
|
|
|
See http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/downloads/list for a list of
|
|
|
|
|
all available language packs. Note that you can install more than one
|
|
|
|
|
(or even all) of the language packs, as they do not conflict with each
|
|
|
|
|
other. The build script defaults to use English, but this is easily
|
|
|
|
|
changed by passing an alternate value on the command line.

Here is the relevant code from the build script:
