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.

The lead developer is Ray Smith. 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 output formats: plain text, hOCR (HTML), PDF, invisible-text-only PDF, TSV. The master branch also has experimental support for ALTO (XML) output.

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 and at Hewlett-Packard Co, Greeley Colorado 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. Since 2006 it is developed by Google.

The latest (LSTM based) stable version is 4.1.1, released on December 26, 2019. Latest source code is available from master branch on GitHub. Open issues can be found in issue tracker, and planning documentation.

The latest 3.0x version is 3.05.02, released on June 19, 2018. Latest source code for 3.05 is available from 3.05 branch on GitHub. There is no development for this version, but it can be used for special cases (e.g. see Regression of features from 3.0x).

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.

C++17 support is required for building.

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.

    RFC: Tesseract 4.0.0 – open tasks

    I'd like to collect open tasks which should be addressed before tagging the official release 4.0.0.

    These tasks are on my own list and to be discussed whether we consider them important for the new release or not:

    • Remove deprecated code. This does not include OpenCL or the old Tesseract engine.
    • Add --version parameter for all command line commands.
    • Enhance --list-langs to show additional information for scripts and languages like legacy / LSTM, version. This will make the command slower, because each file must be opened and parsed.
    • Add option to optionally select implementation for dot product (CPU, SSE, AVX, ...).
    • Relative includes for traineddata: tessedit_load_sublangs should search for the sublangs relative to the parent, not starting in tessdata dir.
    • Maybe more fixes for compiler warnings and issues reported by Coverity Scan.
    • (list still incomplete)

  • RFC: Remove the legacy OCR Engine

    RFC: Remove the legacy OCR Engine

    Ray wants to get rid of the legacy OCR engine, so that the final 4.00 version will only have one OCR engine based on LSTM.

    From #518:

    @stweil commented:

    I strongly vote against removing non-LSTM as we currently still get better results with it in some cases.

    @theraysmith commented:

    Please provide examples of where you get better results with the old engine. Right now I'm trying to work on getting rid of redundant code, rather than spending time fighting needless changes that generate a lot of work. I have recently tested an LSTM-based OSD, and it works a lot better than the old, so that is one more use of the old classifier that can go. AFAICT, apart from the equation detector, the old classifier is now redundant.

  • good accuracy but too slow, how to improve Tesseract speed

    good accuracy but too slow, how to improve Tesseract speed

    I integrated Tesseract C/C++, version 3.x, to read English OCR on images.

    It’s working pretty good, but very slow. It takes close to 1000ms (1 second) to read the attached image (00060.jpg) on my quad-core laptop.

    I’m not using the Cube engine, and I’m feeding only binary images to the OCR reader.

    Any way to make it faster. Any ideas on how to make Tesseract read faster? thanks 00060

    Up to now, little endian tesseract works with the new zip format.

    More work is needed for training tools and big endian support and also to maintain compatibility with the current proprietary format.

  • RFC: Reorganize source tree

    RFC: Reorganize source tree

    I'd like to propose changes to tesseract source tree structure. Today the common way is to have src folder with all program stuff and include folder with public headers. Now we have a lot of dirs in the root - that's very annoying. On the first stage I propose:

    1. move all sources into src
    2. move training tools from training to tools/training

    Later we can try to move public headers to include directory.

    The new look will be like: pic

    If there are no objections, I'll commit changes.

    Compiling Tesseract - tesseract 4.0

    Reference: https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/wiki/Compiling#macos

    Warning: Don't install tesseract using brew, since you can't generate the ScrollView.jar from it! (At least I wasn't able to generate it)

    Steps

    1 - Install these libs

    brew install automake autoconf autoconf-archive libtool
    brew install pkgconfig
    brew install icu4c
    brew install leptonica
    brew install gcc
    

    2 - Run the code

    ln -hfs /usr/local/Cellar/icu4c/60.2 /usr/local/opt/icu4c
    

    Obs.: text2image is set to use icu4c/60.2 but the actual version is icu4c/61.1

    3 - Clone tesseract repo

    git clone https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/
    

    4 - Enter in the folder

    cd tesseract
    

    5 - Run the script

    ./autogen.sh
    

    6 - Run the code, and copy the CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS

    brew info icu4c
    

    7 - Update the CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS and execute the code

    ./configure \
      CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/opt/icu4c/include \
      LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/opt/icu4c/lib
    

    8 - Run the code

    make -j
    

    9 - Run the code

    sudo make install
    

    10 - Run the code

    sudo update_dyld_shared_cache
    

    Obs.: this is the sudo ldconfig version for MAC OS X

    11 - Run the code

    make training
    

    Creating ScrollView.jar - tesseract 4.0

    Reference: https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/wiki/TrainingTesseract-4.00#lstmtraining-command-line https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/wiki/ViewerDebugging

    Important: Use the JDK 8 to build, or else it is going to return an error

    Steps

    1 - Download the files piccolo2d-core-3.0.jar and piccolo2d-extras-3.0.jar

    http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=org/piccolo2d/piccolo2d-core/3.0/piccolo2d-core-3.0.jar http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=org/piccolo2d/piccolo2d-extras/3.0/piccolo2d-extras-3.0.jar

    2 - Move the files piccolo2d-core-3.0.jar and piccolo2d-extras-3.0.jar to tesseract/java

    3 - Enter the tesseract/java folder

    cd java
    

    4 - Set the var SCROLLVIEW_PATH to your tesseract/java folder and run the code

    SCROLLVIEW_PATH=~/projects/tesseract/java make ScrollView.jar
    

    Training Font - tesseract 4.0

    Reference: https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/wiki/TrainingTesseract-4.00#user-content-using-tesstrain

    Steps

    1 - Clone the langdata dir from git

    git clone https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/langdata
    

    2 - Enter the tesseract folder

    cd ..
    

    3 - Execute this code and select one font from the list (I recommend "Verdana")

    text2image --list_available_fonts --fonts_dir=/Library/Fonts
    

    Font dir for MAC can be : ~/Library/Fonts /Library/Fonts/ /Network/Library/Fonts/ /System/Library/Fonts/ /System Folder/Fonts/

    More details here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201722

    4 - replace the line 195 at file tesseract/training/tesstrain_utils.sh from

    - export FONT_CONFIG_CACHE=$(mktemp -d --tmpdir font_tmp.XXXXXXXXXX)
    + export FONT_CONFIG_CACHE=$(mktemp -d -t font_tmp.XXXXXXXXXX)
    

    Obs.: this is a fix for the error:

    mktemp: illegal option -- -
    usage: mktemp [-d] [-q] [-t prefix] [-u] template ...
           mktemp [-d] [-q] [-u] -t prefix
    /Users/username/projects/tesseract/training/tesstrain_utils.sh: line 197: /sample_text.txt: Permission denied
    

    5 - Clone the tessdata repo from git (i recommend the "tessdata_best" since it is the more precise, "tessdata_fast" is just more fast)

    git clone https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata_best
    

    or

    git clone https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata_fast
    

    6 - Copy the tessdata_best/eng.traineddata (for english training) from the tessdata you just cloned and past at tesseract/tessdata/

    7 - Create the training data

    PANGOCAIRO_BACKEND=fc \
    ~/projects/tesseract/training/tesstrain.sh \
      --fonts_dir /Library/Fonts \
      --lang eng \
      --linedata_only \
      --noextract_font_properties \
      --exposures "0"    \
      --langdata_dir ~/projects/langdata \
      --tessdata_dir ~/projects/tesseract/tessdata \
      --fontlist "Verdana" \
      --output_dir ~/tesstutorial/engtrain
    

    Add the prefix PANGOCAIRO_BACKEND=fc if using MAC OSX

    8 - Create other training data using other font to compare

    PANGOCAIRO_BACKEND=fc \
    ~/projects/tesseract/training/tesstrain.sh \
      --fonts_dir /Library/Fonts \
      --lang eng \
      --linedata_only \
      --noextract_font_properties \
      --exposures "0"    \
      --langdata_dir ~/projects/langdata \
      --tessdata_dir ~/projects/tesseract/tessdata \
      --fontlist "Times New Roman," \
      --output_dir ~/tesstutorial/engeval
    

    Add the prefix PANGOCAIRO_BACKEND=fc if using MAC OSX

    9 - Create the needed folder

    mkdir -p ~/tesstutorial/engoutput
    

    10 - Start the training

    SCROLLVIEW_PATH=~/projects/tesseract/java \
    ~/projects/tesseract/training/lstmtraining \
    --debug_interval 100 \
    --traineddata ~/tesstutorial/engtrain/eng/eng.traineddata \
    --net_spec '[1,36,0,1 Ct3,3,16 Mp3,3 Lfys48 Lfx96 Lrx96 Lfx256 O1c111]' \
    --model_output ~/tesstutorial/engoutput/base \
    --learning_rate 20e-4 \
    --train_listfile ~/tesstutorial/engtrain/eng.training_files.txt \
    --eval_listfile ~/tesstutorial/engeval/eng.training_files.txt \
    --max_iterations 5000 &>~/tesstutorial/engoutput/basetrain.log
    

    Case you failed to build ScrollView.jar, set debug_interval to -1 --debug_interval -1

    11 - Monitor the log on another console

    tail -f ~/tesstutorial/engoutput/basetrain.log
    

    12 - Test Accuracy with other font

    ~/projects/tesseract/training/lstmeval \
      --model ~/tesstutorial/engoutput/base_checkpoint \
      --traineddata ~/tesstutorial/engtrain/eng/eng.traineddata \
      --eval_listfile ~/tesstutorial/engeval/eng.training_files.txt
    

    13 - Test Accuracy with best traindata

      --model ~/projects/tessdata_best/eng.traineddata \
      --eval_listfile ~/tesstutorial/engeval/eng.training_files.txt
    

    14 - Test Accuracy with actual traindata (in this case the same as step 13)

    ~/projects/tesseract/training/lstmeval \
      --model ~/projects/tesseract/tessdata/eng.traineddata \
      --eval_listfile ~/tesstutorial/engtrain/eng.training_files.txt

  • Some programs can't find OCR text in Tesseract's PDFs (3.04)

    Some programs can't find OCR text in Tesseract's PDFs (3.04)

    While Acrobat XI can find text in a PDF, it appears that poppler's pdftotext program, OS X's Preview app, and the library PyPDF2's extractText() function all fail to locate text. It seems that Tesseract is encoding text in a way that makes it inaccessible to many PDF viewers.

    pdftotext produces empty output. Preview app allows highlighting of text in the appropriate locations, but it cannot be copied to the clipboard or searched. PyPDF2 extractText also produces an empty string as text.

    Tesseract produces overlapping bounding boxes for clearly separated lines

    Environment

    Current Behavior:

    PDF Render renders two different lines on the same line, intermixing the chars.

    I cannot post the full original image here because of GDPR, but I can show part of it and the HOCR from that and the resulting text in PDF. Hopefully this is enough, but if not, feel free to contact me.

  • TessBaseAPIInit1() should take config file list as const

    TessBaseAPIInit1() should take config file list as const

    Environment

    • Tesseract Version: 4.0 and newer
    • Commit Number:
    • Platform: issue is independent of the platform

    Current Behavior:

    In the C API, the function int TessBaseAPIInit1() accepts a list of configuration files with the parameters char **configs, int configs_size. Although configs is used read-only, it is not correctly const-qualified, which is annoying for me as a user because I have to use const_cast.

    char * configs[1];
    configs[0] = const_cast<char *>(strConfigFile.c_str());
    int r = TessBaseAPIInit1(h, strTessdata.c_str(), "eng", OEM_DEFAULT, configs, 1);
    

    Expected Behavior:

    TessBaseAPIInit1 should accept an array of const char pointers.

    Suggested Fix:

    Change the signature from TESS_API int TessBaseAPIInit1(TessBaseAPI *handle, const char *datapath, const char *language, TessOcrEngineMode oem, char **configs, int configs_size);

    to

    TESS_API int TessBaseAPIInit1(TessBaseAPI *handle, const char *datapath, const char *language, TessOcrEngineMode oem, const char **configs, int configs_size);

    The implementation is the same because the function does not modify the array of strings.

  • Continuation of an interrupted training

    Continuation of an interrupted training

    From issue #3560:

    @stweil commented,

    There are other training aspects which I consider more important.

    One is continuation of an interrupted training. That should start with the line following the last one which was used for training. I'm afraid that it currently starts with the first line, so a training which was interrupted is different compared to a training which runs without any interrupt.
