If you are on windows7, it maybe better for you to use VietOCR as the GUI frontend for tesseract. The commandline version of tesseract has not been updated while VIETOCR uses the newer engine.
You can see https://tesseract-ocr.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/doc/tesseract.1.html for the command line info. Vietocr is available from http://sourceforge.net/projects/vietocr/files/ On Sunday, December 28, 2014 10:15:41 PM UTC+5:30, [email protected] wrote: > > >> If you're using the command line, then the image file has to be in >> the current directory, unless you specify a path.
