I had not realized that tesseract-ocr 3.02 package has made it to the Ubuntu Precise repositories. That is great news!
I have recently updated my speedy-ocr package to work in Precise. I will need to do some extra testing to assure the bash script, originally written for tesseract 2.04 in Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid, still works with the new version. Hopefully, it will improve the accuracy. I will also now be able to start taking advantage of new features. Orientation detection is a great feature for the blind. It is sometimes nearly impossible to place a page in the proper direction on the scanner! Will switching from ImageMagic to libtonica for image manipulation improve accuracy? Thanks to all who contributed to the new version and especially to who built the Ubuntu Precise package! *Don Marang* Vinux Package Development Coordinator - vinuxproject.org <http://www.vinuxproject.org/> On 9/22/2012 3:26 AM, zdenko podobny wrote: > Hi, > > first of all: there is leptonica 1.69 and tesseract-ocr 3.02 > in in Ubuntu 12.4 LTS Precise Pangolin.
