Can not download tessdata #55

Closed longnguyencmg closed 7 years ago

longnguyencmg commented 8 years ago

Please help to check this link to download tessdata. URL not found :(

http://tesseract-ocr.googlecode.com/files/

rmtheis commented 8 years ago

This project doesn't use that as a download location, it uses tesseract-ocr.googlecode.com/files/.

rmtheis commented 8 years ago

Oops, I misread your comment before. You're saying the trained data download links are broken in the app, right? Do you know of an alternative download location?

longnguyencmg commented 8 years ago

Hello, I'm not sure if this https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata is enough information? Currently, I'm looking at your OcrInitAsyncTask.java, you need .traineddata and osd.traineddata. But I just can find .traineddata from the link above.

rmtheis commented 8 years ago

Hmm, OK. I think using Firebase or S3 would be better than hotlinking to Github.

Maybe we can include the English/OSD data in the application assets and link to Firebase for the rest.

longnguyencmg commented 8 years ago

Actually, I fixed it download .traindeddata from github directly without unzip, etc. But I'm not sure if it's a good solution. I didn't try S3 or Firebase. Waiting for your solution 🎯 . Cheers

Or help to how to package the appropriate training data files in the app ?

tabletguy commented 7 years ago

By checking the base URL of http://tesseract-ocr.googlecode.com it will redirect to a page that says

_tesseract-ocr has Moved!

This project has moved to a new location on the internet. Its new home is at:_

https://github.com/tesseract-ocr

Source files in the program could (should) be changed to reflect this, IMO.

rmtheis commented 7 years ago

I don't think hotlinking to Github is a good idea. I suggest packaging the data files in the app (like I've done with the English training data) or hosting the download yourself using Firebase.
