Thanks Nick and zdentop, your comments were very helpful and prompted me to carefully consider exactly where I may have gone wrong during the install.
Initially I compiled and installed tesseract from source but after having some issues I removed the installed files and installed using apt. Unfortunately instead of completely removing the initial installation it seems I had instead butchered it and created a crippled v3.03 install. Having spent some time this morning cleaning out all tesseract related files/folders and reinstalling with apt and I'm pleased to report that tesseract is now working as expected. I appreciate you both taking the time to reply and help me resolve this. Regards, Chris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tesseract-ocr" group.
