-l Script Usage example #29

Closed fawazahmed0 closed 4 years ago

fawazahmed0 commented 4 years ago

Hello, There doesn't seem to be an example on how to use the -l script option in tesseract.

I have referred this and it's mentioned we can specify different scripts

Actually, I have a image in fulani language, which is in latin script. I tried this: teserract fulani.tiff stdout -l latin But that seems to fail with this error:

G:\GitHub\Things to copyin\qdata\to clean and add>tesseract fulani.tiff stdout -
l latin
Error opening data file C:\Program Files\Tesseract-OCR/tessdata/latin.traineddat
a
Please make sure the TESSDATA_PREFIX environment variable is set to your "tessda
ta" directory.
Failed loading language 'latin'
Tesseract couldn't load any languages!
Could not initialize tesseract.

I am not sure what's the right way to use the -l script option, if you could provide me an example that would be great help.

Thanks

Ok this is how it should be done: teserract fulani.tiff stdout -l script\Latin

I think it will be good idea to add an example at here

Thanks
