<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
|
|
<simpara>tesseract(1) is a commercial quality OCR engine originally developed at HP
|
|
between 1985 and 1995. In 1995, this engine was among the top 3 evaluated by
|
|
UNLV. It was open-sourced by HP and UNLV in 2005, and has been developed
|
|
by Google since then.</simpara>

<title>HISTORY</title>

<simpara>
|
|
The engine was 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. A lot
|
|
of the code was written in C, and then some more was written in C++. Since
|
|
then all the code has been converted to at least compile with a C++ compiler.
|
|
Currently it builds under Linux with gcc4.0, gcc4.1 and under Windows with
|
|
VC++6 and VC++Express. The C+\+ code makes heavy use of a list system using
|
|
macros. This predates stl, was portable before stl, and is more efficient
|
|
than stl lists, but has the big negative that if you do get a segmentation
|
|
violation, it is hard to debug. Another "feature" of the C/C++ split is
|
|
that the C++ data structures get converted to C data structures to call
|
|
the low-level C code. This is ugly, and the C++izing of the C code
|
|
is a step towards eliminating the conversion, but it has not happened yet.

|
|
The most important changes in version 2.00 were that Tesseract can now
|
|
recognize 6 languages, is fully UTF8 capable, and is fully trainable. See
|
|
<ulink url="http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/wiki/TrainingTesseract">http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/wiki/TrainingTesseract</ulink>
|
|
for more information on training.</simpara>
|
|
<simpara>Tesseract was included in UNLV’s Fourth Annual Test of OCR
|
|
Accuracy. See
|
|
<ulink url="http://www.isri.unlv.edu/downloads/AT-1995.pdf">http://www.isri.unlv.edu/downloads/AT-1995.pdf</ulink>.
|
|
With Tesseract 2.00, scripts are now included to allow anyone to reproduce
|
|
some of these tests.
|
|
See
|
|
<ulink url="http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/wiki/TestingTesseract">http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/wiki/TestingTesseract</ulink>
|
|
for more details.</simpara>
|
|
<simpara>Tesseract 3.00 adds a number of new languages, including Chinese,
|
|
Japanese, and Korean. It also introduces a new, single-file based system of
|
|
managing language data. For further details, see the file ReleaseNotes
|
|
included with the distribution.</simpara>
