Hi Tesseractors, I am feeling a bit fed up about the lack of openness with the Tesseract project.
The addition of the cube mode, and several trainings, with absolutely no documentation, or (as far as I can tell) any tools to create cube training files, is a good example of this. As is the lack of tif/box files for any of the core training files in the project. Keeping the cube tools and documentation private sucks royally. If they aren't perfect or polished, it doesn't matter; we could help to fix them up! I suspect some of the tif/box files for training aren't being released because of concerns about copyright of the image files. If that's the case please work to clear them up, or create freely reusable versions. I love Tesseract; having a very high quality free software OCR package is awesome, and I'm very grateful for the amazing work being done on it. But I find the lack of parity between those inside Google and the wider community to be rather troubling. If there's anything I can do to help make cube training tools and documentation available, or the training source files, I'd be very happy to help. Replying offlist if appropriate is fine.
