Need Tesseract OCR for EasyOS

[gilles]

Hello,
I need a tool like, for instance, Tesseract - gImage reader.
But, I do not find it for easyOS

I use tesseract-ocr as a commandline tool on screenshot selections from pdfs or images etc.
On ubuntu/debian-linked puppies gimagereader is a very good tool, so when that is not available, or converting the .deb to .sfs or xbps (void puppy/KLV) fails, I use a screenshot tool to create a png file and process that. Flameshot seems quite flexible but there are others.

I'm planning to include Tesseract in the upcoming Kirkstone series of EasyOS.

I see that there are quite a lot of GUI apps for it. Any suggestion which ones are best?

They are listed here:

Note, I have been away from home for the last several days, back home tonight.
Haven't posted to my blog while away, and just popped into the forum briefly.

There was interest expressed in tesseract OCR package on the forum, so compiled that. No GUI though. One of the best-looking GUIs for tesseract seems to be gimagereader, but it has lots of dependencies. I could compile it if there is sufficient interest.

thanks for including the OCR package, no GUI needed here.

you might have a look at yagf for a graphical interface for tesseract OCR, suppose to be good for both it and cunieform and is a single package
