Yes, Pierre, I agree with Remi. I would contribute at least a little bit if there were a community effort happening instead of a closed system watched from the outside. I looked into the logs and source control, and you were right. There does not seem to be any activity since last summer. Only discussions of minor usage issues have come from the developers. I don't have much time, but I would like to see Tesseract support Hebrew and Arabic -- a few people have done work on training, and a few special things need to happen to appropriately handle accents. Others are working on Tibetan, which will need special segmentation. I think that some of the work that has been done outside the code base, e.g., for Indic languages, could be somehow incorporated into the code base -- I believe right now that segmentation is done outside of Tess?
I know a few people specialized in software for minority language communities that might like to contribute to the project. --Sven On Thu, Apr 8, 2010 at 10:49 AM, rthomas <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> But then i must ask: What people are doing in this list?
