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 the website 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:
|
|
edit the LANGNAM variable to switch to (or add) another language.
