i tried running the program in the console and did get the following error message:
Could not open file, C:\tesseract-3.02\tessdata/deu.user-words The file is definitely there. Maybe it has something to do with the different slashes? Is the user-words file supposed to be a dawg file or a simple text file with one word per line? I also tried settings the datapath of the Init function to "C:/tesseract-3.02/" to get the right slashes but i got the same result. Regarding you option to set the config file after the init call, i read here http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/wiki/ControlParams that you can only set the user_words_suffix param in the init call. Is this correct? Am Freitag, 30.
