The Tesseract Plugin requires an installed Tesseract version on your system. To use it correctly, the path to the tesseract
binary should be specified or available through the systems environment.
Status | Values | Information/error handling |
---|---|---|
Used Tesseract Plugin | Tesseract Installed | Tesseract must be installed on the system |
Tesseract Windows | No setting is required for this version. If there are problems while using the plugin, it should disabled and switched to the 'Tesseract Installed' plugin | |
Status | ok | Tesseract was configured correctly and can be used. |
Tesseract could not be found [...] | Check the path to the installation of Tesseract or add make it available through the system environment. | |
Tesseract could not find the language file narrowly. [...] | Check the path to the language files. There must always be an English language file. | |
The Tesseract plugin does not work correctly, [...] | A Tesseract version 4.x should be installed. | |
Version | tesseract v4.1.0* | Detected version of the installed Tesseract distribution |
Language files found | [deu, eng] | Tesseract has detected the given languages. |
No language files are found. | Check the path to the .traineddata files. There usually is a folder tessdata with the appropriate files in the Tesseract installation directory. For Tesseract Windows Plugin the folder lang/tessdata from the i-net PDFC installation directory is used. English is shipped by default with the plugin. |
For Tesseract to work properly with i-net PDFC, it may need to be parameterized. After all settings have been made, click on Apply
to update the status.
Note: No settings need to be made for the Tesseract Windows plugin.
The installation path of the installed Tesseract version should be given. If this option is set correctly, Tesseract can be used. If Tesseract has been added to the environment variables or is in a standard path (/usr/bin/tesseract or /usr/local/bin/tesseract), the default setting "tesseract" is sufficient at this point.
By default (empty field) it is in the PDFC installation directory lang/tessdata. If you want to use a different path instead, you must specify the appropriate folder. A folder with the .traineddata is expected.
Note: The English language file is always required.
