Hi Roi, These are the complete instructions I wrote down a while ago which worked for me + for someone to whom I sent these:
Getting Tesseract 2.04 - Under Windows explorer, navigate to your projects, say “C: \PROJECTS” - Choose tesseract-2.04.tar.gz - It’s a GZIP file, unpack it into C:\PROJECTS - This creates a .tar file (if the extension is say “tar-1”, change it to “tar”) - This is yet another compressed file, now you need to unpack it (I used PeaZip for Windows, it’s free) - This will create a sub-folder “tesseract-2.04” with all the sources Getting Tessnet2 This is a set of client sources exercising Tesseract: - Goto http://www.pixel-technology.com/freeware/tessnet2/ - Click the link that says “Download Tessnet2 source code here and expand it in Tesseract source code root directory (it should create dotnet sub directory)” - You get a .rar file. You need to expand that rar file into say c:\projects\tesseract-2.04 (where you installed Tess 2.04) - It will create a “dotnet” sub-folder under tesseract-2.04 Building Tessnet2 - Under Visual Studio 2008, open the solution called “Tessnet2” under c:\projects\tesseract-2.04\dotnet - Once built, we need to run the project called “TesseractOCR” (you can’t run it yet, you need to get the data files under “tessdata” – see below) Installing language files - Install the Tesseract English language files into say c: \projects\OCR\tesseract2.04\dotnet\TesseractOCR\bin\x64\Debug\tessdata - Add to your Path environment this “c:\projects\OCR \tesseract2.04\dotnet\x64\Debug;c:\projects\OCR\tesseract2.04\dotnet \TesseractOCR\bin\x64\Debug” - After building the tessnet2 solution, within Visual Studio, in the solution explorer window (right hand side), right-click the project called “TesseractOCR” and set it as the “startup project”. This means that when you do Debug->Start Debugging, it will run that program - Now do Debug->Start debugging to run the app - In the “Lang” box, enter “eng2” - In the Tessdata Path box, make sure the path matches where you unpacked the tessdata files Hope this helps.
