openSUSE-12.1 to openSUSE Leap-15.3 with gImageReader and Tesseract

Once again, Malcolmlewis was also kind enough to package gImageReader for openSUSE-Leap-15.3. MANY THANKS Malclom !!

openSUSE Leap-15.3

For information, to setup gImageReader to read/OCR German and French in opnSUSE-Leap-15.3.

First - to add Malcomlewis’ repository (the below commands need to be sent with root permissions) :


zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/malcolmlewis:/openSUSE_General/openSUSE_Leap_15.3/ malcolm

To update the new repository.

 zypper update 

Then to install the necessary applications :


zypper in aspell-en aspell-fr ispell-french ispell-german aspell-spell myspell-de myspell-fr_FR


zypper in tesseract-ocr tesseract-ocr-traineddata-german tesseract-ocr-traineddata-english tesseract-ocr-traineddata-french


zypper in gimagereader gimagereader-qt5

… and finally to remove the repository :


zypper rr malcolm

I launched gimagreader with the command “gimagereader-qt5 %U”.

Gimagereader comes up ok. … On my PC I tested this with an OCR of a German language document.

Many thanks again to Malcomlewis for packaging gimagereader.
