Sounds like a great project :) > Therefore, I wonder how I can get help to use Tesseract for Tibetan. (I am new > on both OCR and Tesseract and the only programming language I know is R.) I > have no idea how to get started, training Tesseract for a new language? Are you sure Tesseract doesn't already support the Tibetan language you need? I know almost nothing about Tibetan, but I see in the langdata[0] repository (which is used to build the official training files) a Tibetan.unicharset file, which implies it probably does have support. Take a look for the ISO-693 code for the language(s) you're interested in in the tessdata repository[1]. I quickly compared the ISO-693 codes from this wikipedia page[2] with the tessdata and bod (Lhasa Tibetan) is the only one there that I see available. But maybe it's the language you want anyway? > And what if the image contains both Chinese and Tibetan? Please > give me some hints. Tesseract can be told to expect multiple languages in an image, using a plus in the language argument (i.e. '-l eng+spa'). Hope that's helpful.
