But on the > other hand Ubuntu+Python is much more fun to learn than the mathematics > and algorithms (in C++) behind OCR. i have both, well, Python a while ago but that's obviously only a syntax problem. i'm very used to high level OOP languages (ObjC mostly) and Python is not that far from it. Unfortunatelly, this project really doesn't suits my target. i'm requiring opensource (Or at least easily portable by myself on each major release, which is really not the case right now), and most of all closed sources when required by a commercial license. Also, i notive that OCROpus is getting into the same (And i think wrong) direction than Tesseract is about to take: relying on various totally un-related libraries. An OCR library should be only relying on the input format (Which at best would be raw picture LSB / MSB 1bpp data), not a leptonica-ish wrapper. i'm actually reading Tesseract source code, and i have quite a lot of enlightenements doing this, so i think i'll be writing an eMail to Ray very soon. Anyone interested with joining my action, and edventually helping me writing it (As you may have noticed, my english became poor over time :D). Thanks anyway for your advices which i honnestly find really valuable, everyone. Pierre. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tesseract-ocr" group.
