How to build training tools for tesseract 4.0 on windows #12

Closed Harathi123 closed 4 years ago

Hi @Shreeshrii ,

I am trying to train tesseract 4.0 on windows. But when i installed tesseract 4.0, i didnt find lstmbox file and many other training tools. When i did some research, i found that we need to build them. I didnt find any documentation how to build training tools for tesseract 4.0 on windows. Can you please guide me?

Thanks in advance! Harathi

The above has all training tools.

lstmbox is a config file. You need to make sure that you don't have old version of tessdata (referred by TESSDATA_PREFIX).

Thanks for the reply! I am planning to use tesseract 4.0 beta. I am confused with many links in the above link you shared. Can you please point me to the right one for training tools? Also regarding tessdata, I installed this: https://digi.bib.uni-mannheim.de/tesseract/tesseract-ocr-setup-4.0.0dev-20170510.exe With that, I didn’t get lstmbox in tessdata/configs. Do I need to download tessdata folder separately?

Thanks! Harathi

Why do you want to use tesseract 4.0 beta? That is pretty old. You can't use the latest features with code from 3 years ago.

Ok thanks, I will try with latest version. Do I need to install any training tools to train with this? Or tesseract installation will download all the required files? Thanks! Harathi
