Sure,
I use command-line tesseract from PHP on a Linux server. Just make
sure that tesseract is in your PATH or give the full path to the
executable.
In my case, I use imagemagick to convert the user's graphic to a black
and white TIFF file, then run it through tesseract. I read the
results, store them in a database and trash the tmp files.
system("convert -monochrome +compress -normalize
$contentbase/orig/$md5 $contentbase/tmp/$md5.tif");
system("$exe_path/code/progs/bin/tesseract $contentbase/tmp/$md5.tif
$contentbase/tmp/$md5");
if($ocrtext = file_get_contents("$contentbase/tmp/$md5.txt")){
// update DB with $ocrtext
}else{
// error handling here
}
Good luck,
