6 years ago After discussion @jeroen I take my vignette access suggestion back but would you be interested in a PR
- Adding a better mention of hOCR, based on your blog post
- Adding the sentence "If your text is stored as text, not as image, in a PDF file, use
pdftoolsfunctions directly" to https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/tesseract/vignettes/intro.html#read_from_pdf_files ?
Thanks for a great package @jeroen! I have two suggestions regarding the vignette.
Vignette access
To read the vignette one either has to go read the CRAN version or to install the package. Would you be interested in a PR making a
pkgdownwebsite fortesseract? This way the vignette would be rendered.hOCR
I looked at the posts on rOpenSci blog via https://ropensci.org/tags/tesseract/ in particular https://ropensci.org/technotes/2018/02/14/tesseract-18/ -> should this mention of hOCR be added to the vignette? I see it is already mentioned very briefly in the README.
