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

openSUSE-Leap-42.1. gimagereader - Once again, Malcolmlewis was also kind enough to package gImageReader for openSUSE-Leap-42.1.

openSUSE Leap-42.1

For information, to setup gImageReader to read/OCR German and French in opnSUSE-Leap-42.1, I modified the guide above since the packages are slightly different in Leap.

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_42.1/ malcolm

Then to install the necessary applications :


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


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 gaimagreader with the command “gimagereader-q5 %U”.

I did note the error:


QTextCursor::setPosition: Position '385' out of range

However gimagereader did come up ok, and I was able to conduct an OCR from French (JPEG with text) to English language

Many thanks again to Malcomlewis for packaging gimagereader.
