1) I am not sure if this is possible. Please provide some simple test case for clear understanding: input image, output you have got, desired output... Maybe something can be done in post-processing of tesseract output...
2) I did not get you try to do with it. I your first example (tesseract oqsnoc.png -l eng -psm 7) you forget to enter output filename - it does not work. Than you wrote other command that you not make sense to me: you send ocr output to stout.txt, but you redirect stdout to test.txt there is not output at stdout... Do you understand what are you doing? 3) If there are better settings (config parameters) than default, we would set it as default ;-) Zdenko On Sat, Apr 20, 2013 at 12:23 AM, Hermes <[email protected]> wrote: > 1) Yeah, the best example is trying to OCR the image (with Adobe or > Foxit), it comes out like: > > line 1 > > line2 oddstuffhere line 3 > > > So I am looking into other options, and the first one I found that might > be able to perform this, was tesseract. > > What I would like to import is > > field1, field2, field3 > > > Though, it doesn't matter what or how it is formatted, as long as it > bencoded or can be imported into sqlite, that is what I am looking at. > > 2) If I try to use that command: > > server:~$ tesseract oqsnoc.png stout -l eng -psm 7 > test.txt > Tesseract Open Source OCR Engine v3.02.02 with Leptonica > server:~$ cat test.txt > server:~$ > > Unless I still need the config file, even after that. > > > > 3)Thought that I might get better results with a config, versus the using > default. > > On Friday, April 19, 2013 2:46:43 AM UTC-4, zdenop wrote: >> >> >> On Fri, Apr 19, 2013 at 4:52 AM, Hermes <[email protected]> wrote: >> >>> I am trying to setup tesseract to scan images that contain logos, >>> numbers, and dates, words, etc. The works pretty much.
