Hi, I am planning to buy a new high-performance desktop, as I want to start to run more Tesseract ( which is a pain on my five year old very slow xp laptop).
Typical Usage:- Tesseract training for Indic languages -- With around thousand symbols -- Typical training image is 1600 x 32000 pixels wide -- Lot of books in TIFF format ready to be OCRed. Softwares -- Ubuntu -- Tessearct, Libtiff, GIMP, gcc, Cowboxer, Qt -- Other software like Octave, MySQL etc. (for statistical analysis, data warehousing etc.) Does a 64-bit processor help (as opposed to 32-bit)? What core is recommended (Dual? or Quad?) AMD or Intel ? (It looks like AMD is better value for money than Intel.) Given large Image sizes is 4GB DDR2 RAM optimum? Do we need more or less? I do not think we need a separate GPU or graphics card as we deal with static TIFF images, that too in the background mostly. And a normal iMac like (1680x1050) display should do. I am looking at newegg.com and looking to buy for thanksgiving. Thanks a lot for your time, I recently moved to the SF Bay Area, and would love to meet people working on Tesseract. My school is in Palo Alto. Regards. Rak.A> (650) 497-9915 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tesseract-ocr" group.
