Hi,

essentially, the next release is already out; just follow the instructions on the web site:

http://code.google.com/p/ocropus/wiki/InstallTranscript

There will be some more Python scripts (e.g., for other ways of training the recognizer) and more comments in the Python code.

Documentation and examples will take a little longer, but I hope that the use of Python already helps.

Prof.Tom Breuel,
Will you kindly intimate the approximate date on which ocropus likely to be released and also intimate me the address of website under which tarbal for download is available. Hope Tarbal will contain sample datasets of English for benefit of users and enable me to emulate for Kannada project on the lines of sample datasets provided by you.
Wishing you All the Best Wishes and Luck,

    Trust it will work in ubuntu 9.04? Hope that tarball will contains
    sample datasets of English for hands on experience by the newbies.

        We're preparing for the next release. The release consists of the
        following components:

           * iulib -- basic image processing
           * ocropus -- OCR-specific functionality (libraries and some
        command line programs)
           * ocroswig -- bindings of iulib and ocropus to Python
           * ocropy -- Python library and command line tools
           * pyopenfst -- Python bindings of the OpenFST library

        Please see the InstallTranscript to see how this is installed.

        There is plenty of new functionality:

           * all recognition can now be carried out from Python
           * there are top-level commands for recognition and training
        written in Python
           * classifiers now can cope with large character sets
           * there are tools for clustering and correcting character
        shapes
           * there is support for ligatures
           * there are numerous bug fixes
           * training is possible on very large datasets (many millions of
        samples)

        We will be calling this release 0.4.4, since there is still some
        functionality missing for what we want to call 0.5:

           * the Python tools do not yet do a good job at upper/lower case
        modeling (but we have good prototype code that just needs to be
        integrated)
           * the language models need to be tested and improved
           * we need to integrate the book-adaptive recognition tools into
        the Python code
           * Unicode support needs to be integrated into the Python loops
           * the main loop of the RAST layout analysis will be
        rewritten in
        Python
           * there will be some new layout analysis that works for
        distorted
        pages
           * we need to integrate our orientation detection and text/image
        segmentation code
           * we want to get rid of the makefiles

        Install instructions are here:

        We'll probably provide a single tarball
