Initial question was "windows release with support for compressed tiff's". On Windows you get the free "Visual C# Express", you unzip the tessnet wrapper, the tessdata, and you can do OCR (for free) in 7 line of code. You can read TIFF, PNG, JPG, BMP, GIF. The screenshoot you have here http://www.pixel-technology.com/freeware/tessnet2/demo.png was done in 120 line of code. Can you do it with your OS? Show me. Tired of people saying Windows is bulshit but don't know it. Remi -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tesseract-ocr" group.
