Bug#390204: tesseract-ocr

[Richard Atterer <atterer@debian.org>]

Hi,

I just compiled v1.02 using GCC 4.1.2 without problems.

The Aspirin code seems to be gone in this release, and the README contains 
a note that it is not needed.

This seems like a nice enough program! In a quick test using a warped, 
underexposed picture from a digital camera, it didn't really produce usable 
results, but with a dictionary and better input it might work well!

Big problem for me: It does not understand German umlauts yet.

Hint: To produce a .tif which the program can understand, use something 
like

  convert -compress none -monochrome -density 150x150 inputfile.jpeg output.tif

I might package this if nobody else is interested. However, I'll gladly 
step back if someone else wants to do it, as I have little spare time.

Cheers,

  Richard
