怎么上手

由 README 提炼,执行前请确认
tesseract imagename outputbase [-l lang] [--oem ocrenginemode] [--psm pagesegmode] [configfiles...]
硬件要求按 README 说明

README 未说明硬件要求,未提及 GPU 或显存;依赖 Leptonica 库读取输入图片。

项目说明

由 README 自动翻译提炼

开源 OCR 引擎,提供 libtesseract 库和 tesseract 命令行,把图片文字转成文本

老牌开源 OCR 引擎,用 LSTM 识别图片中的文字,支持上百种语言,适合做文档扫描和文本提取。

核心能力

  • 基于 LSTM 神经网络做行识别,保留 Tesseract 3 传统引擎模式
  • 开箱支持 UTF-8 与 100 多种语言的识别
  • 支持 PNG、JPEG、TIFF 等多种输入图片格式
  • 输出纯文本、hOCR、PDF、TSV、ALTO、PAGE 等格式
  • 提供 C 与 C++ API,可自行训练识别其他语言

容易踩的坑

需额外下载 traineddata 语言数据文件,否则无法识别对应语言;本项目不含 GUI,需要界面得另找第三方项目;从源码编译前需确认系统编译器在支持列表内。

    About

    This package contains an OCR engine - libtesseract and a command line program - tesseract.

    Tesseract 4 adds a new neural net (LSTM) based OCR engine which is focused on line recognition, but also still supports the legacy Tesseract OCR engine of Tesseract 3 which works by recognizing character patterns. Compatibility with Tesseract 3 is enabled by using the Legacy OCR Engine mode (--oem 0). It also needs traineddata files which support the legacy engine, for example those from the tessdata repository.

    Stefan Weil is the current lead developer. Ray Smith was the lead developer until 2017. The maintainer is Zdenko Podobny. For a list of contributors see AUTHORS and GitHub's log of contributors.

    Tesseract has unicode (UTF-8) support, and can recognize more than 100 languages "out of the box".

    Tesseract supports various image formats including PNG, JPEG and TIFF.

    Tesseract supports various output formats: plain text, hOCR (HTML), PDF, invisible-text-only PDF, TSV, ALTO and PAGE.

    You should note that in many cases, in order to get better OCR results, you'll need to improve the quality of the image you are giving Tesseract.

    This project does not include a GUI application. If you need one, please see the 3rdParty documentation.

    Tesseract can be trained to recognize other languages. See Tesseract Training for more information.

    Brief history

    Tesseract was originally developed at Hewlett-Packard Laboratories Bristol UK and at Hewlett-Packard Co, Greeley Colorado USA between 1985 and 1994, with some more changes made in 1996 to port to Windows, and some C++izing in 1998. In 2005 Tesseract was open sourced by HP. From 2006 until August 2017 it was developed by Google.

    Major version 5 is the current stable version and started with release 5.0.0 on November 30, 2021. Newer minor versions and bugfix versions are available from GitHub.

    Latest source code is available from main branch on GitHub. Open issues can be found in issue tracker, and planning documentation.

    See Release Notes and Change Log for more details of the releases.

    Installing Tesseract

    You can either Install Tesseract via pre-built binary package or build it from source.

    Before building Tesseract from source, please check that your system has a compiler which is one of the supported compilers.

    Running Tesseract

    Basic command line usage:

    tesseract imagename outputbase [-l lang] [--oem ocrenginemode] [--psm pagesegmode] [configfiles...]
    

    For more information about the various command line options use tesseract --help or man tesseract.

    Examples can be found in the documentation.

    For developers

    Developers can use libtesseract C or C++ API to build their own application. If you need bindings to libtesseract for other programming languages, please see the wrapper section in the AddOns documentation.

    Documentation of Tesseract generated from source code by doxygen can be found on tesseract-ocr.github.io.

    Support

    Before you submit an issue, please review the guidelines for this repository.

    For support, first read the documentation, particularly the FAQ to see if your problem is addressed there. If not, search the Tesseract user forum, the Tesseract developer forum and past issues, and if you still can't find what you need, ask for support in the mailing-lists.

    Dependencies

    Tesseract uses Leptonica library for opening input images (e.g. not documents like pdf). It is suggested to use leptonica with built-in support for zlib, png and tiff (for multipage tiff).
