I tried your code and it did not work. I get the error message "Could not open file, C:\tesseract-3.02\tessdata/deu.user-words". I then tried to open the file with fopen. It did not work for the path
C:\tesseract-3.02\tessdata/deu.user-words But it worked for the following paths: C:\\tesseract-3.02\\tessdata\\deu.user-words C:/tesseract-3.02/tessdata/deu.user-words C:\\tesseract-3.02\\tessdata/deu.user-words echo %TESSDATA_PREFIX% yields C:\tesseract-3.02\ I changed this setting manually to C:/tesseract-3.02/ and now i get the error message "Could not open file, C:/tesseract-3.02/tessdata/deu.user-words". I even removed the setting completely so it uses the path supplied with the Init call. Still no luck, same error. Anymore suggestions? Am Freitag, 30.
