long story short, i'm seeing this issue on my ubuntu 10.10 system: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1599686
the packages i have installed: * tessearct-ocr * tesseract-ocr-eng i took a simple screenshot of some text, saved it to a .tif file, then ran: $ tesseract tess.tif tess which generated the output file tess.txt, whose content was a single byte (the newline character). i added the option "-l eng", but that made no difference, and I get no diagnostics. i also checked this out: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OCR but i didn't see anything that would resolve this issue. can someone verify that tesseract can properly process a trivial .tif file on ubuntu? i just want a working example i can use as a starting point. thanks. rday -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tesseract-ocr" group.
