I've never played with OpenCL, but from glancing at the source code there appear to be two environment variables which can be used to control behavior: TESSERACT_OPENCL_DEVICE - the number of the device which will be used to override any automatic selection SC_OPENCLCPU - if defined causes the CPU to be used in preference to the GPU Tom -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tesseract-ocr" group.
