Thanks for the pointers. In v 2.04, api_config was implicitly used by the TessDLL C Wrapper, so I assumed that it has a special role. ( http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/source/browse/tags/release-2.04/tessdll.cpp Line 73) But this doesn't seem to be the case anymore.
Regarding the options - most of them are really too low level to expose them to end users that want to tune the recognition for their documents. - some of them are only for the suited for the command line tool, not the API (e.g. tessedit_create_hocr, in the API there's an explicit GetHOCRText call) - some of them are useful and highlevel (e.g. tessedit_pageseg_mode) but I don't know exactly which ones. - The inline documentation is mostly useless if you don't know the tesseract internals: e.g. BOOL_INIT_MEMBER(load_system_dawg, true, "Load system word dawg.",... The background is, that we build a tesseract plugin for our software and now I want to document the most important configuration possibilities for our customers. Am Freitag, 13.
