Tesseract-OCR works great together with gimagereader.
I really wonder,why it opensuse does not have it in the standard repos, as basically any distro.
Or what other graphical interface for tesseract is there? And also, the tesseract language pack are not main? There is no Russian pack available for example.
Surprise - because nobody packaged it, submitted to openSUSE and committed to maintaining it.
It could be your chance to contribute to openSUSE for the benefit of others.
Hi
There are a few home repo versions (including mine), no interest in maintaining outside of my home, it requires other packages to be in the openSUSE release…
Yes, I am using yours, as always thank you, but I cannot find anything similar, so I was wondering, why it not main.
Just thinking, so this would be basically an app that would profit from snap?
Hi
Have no idea, like I indicated, MicroOS is targeting flatpaks, just need to craft the rpm into that.
Hi Folks,
I’ve noticed that gimagereader hasn’t been working for me for the past few months.
I’ve installed it from several community providers and while it installs, it does not run, nor is it recognized from the command line.
Any suggestions about where I can find a reliable set of instructions for installing it or recommendations for another tesseract-ocr gui?
Cheers
Brad
BTW…it might have to do with requiring libpodofo.so.0.9.8 but libpodofo2 (v0.10.1-1.2) is the current version and I can’t find v0.9.8 online for TW.
@bcain Hi, I updated my version to the latest git release of master… it builds fine for Tumbleweed, please test. But perhaps the problem could be with the backend?
Hi @malcolmlewis
I uninstalled existing tesseract and gimagereader files, then reinstalled tesseract-ocr and your gimagereader, but without success.
Searching for gimagereader does not appear to find an executable package:
sudo find / -name “gimagereader”
./usr/share/doc/packages/gimagereader
./usr/share/licenses/gimagereader
zypper says that it is installed, but gimagereader does not appear in the launcher nor does cnf find it.
Perhaps I have some other installation that is interfering?
Cheers.
Brad
@bcain it’s either gimagereader-gtk or gimagereader-qt5 depending on the interface installed… (tab completion should work…)
Ah! I had only installed gimagereader, but now installing the gimagereader-qt5 version, it works. Autocomplete didn’t seem to work for cnf, but typing the full package name did.
Cheers!
