Hans-G?nter@25351 1 This package contains an OCR engine - libtesseract and
Hans-G?nter@25351 2 a command line program - tesseract.
Hans-G?nter@25351 3
Hans-G?nter@25351 4 Tesseract 4 adds a new neural net (LSTM) based OCR engine
Hans-G?nter@25351 5 which is focused on line recognition, but also still
Hans-G?nter@25351 6 supports the legacy Tesseract OCR engine of Tesseract 3
Hans-G?nter@25351 7 which works by recognizing character patterns.
Hans-G?nter@25351 8 Compatibility with Tesseract 3 is enabled by using the
Hans-G?nter@25351 9 Legacy OCR Engine mode (--oem 0).
Hans-G?nter@25351 10 It also needs traineddata files which support the legacy
Hans-G?nter@25351 11 engine, for example those from the tessdata repository.

Hans-G?nter@25351 21 Tesseract supports various output formats: plain text,
Hans-G?nter@25351 22 hOCR (HTML), PDF, invisible-text-only PDF, TSV.

Hans-G?nter@25351 26 You should note that in many cases, in order to get better
Hans-G?nter@25351 27 OCR results, you'll need to improve the quality of the
Hans-G?nter@25351 28 image you are giving Tesseract.
