Hi chaps, I've recently been toying with the idea of a *very* simple GUI for Tesseract, which just launches the main tesseract binary, with appropriate command line options. Tcl/Tk is nice enough that my idle playing with it resulted in a reasonably nice little program.
It looks for and lists all the languages and configs available from the TESSDATA_PREFIX directory, so should be generic. It also runs any input you give it through imagemagick's 'convert' program, so you can pass PDFs straight to it. Which actually seems to work suprisingly well. It requires Tcl/Tk and ImageMagick binaries installed. It should work fine cross-platform with some work, but for now consider it Linux only. Consider it licensed as Apache 2.0. Can people take a quick look, and give me any feedback you may have? There's a screenshot at: http://www.dur.ac.uk/nick.white/tmp/tess-tkgui/tess-tkgui-20121003_screenshot.png And it can be downloaded at: http://www.dur.ac.uk/nick.white/tmp/tess-tkgui/tess-tkgui-20121003.tar.bz2 Look forward to hearing what you think. Nick P.S. If you think it's amazing, let me know, and I'll work on a proper release etc. P.P.S. If I decide I like it, I may bundle this up with ImageMagick, Tcl/Tk and Tesseract with trainings in an installer for Windows, so I can give it to people who know nothing about computers and they can clicky click successfully. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tesseract-ocr" group.
