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. ote 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.
