Has anyone here tried the new Tesseract OCR engine that google has recently
released?
I gave it a whirl last night. IT compiles more or less fine on Centos 4.4
if you don't mind lots of warnings.
Took a scanned image I already had that contained a column of newspaper
text, GIMP'ed it to cut everything but the text, increased contrast to
get rid of grayish background, saved as uncompressed tiff.
Fired up tesseract and it is STILL running, around ten hours later,
consuming 90% of the CPU. This doesn't seem right...
Clues?

Don't know what the value for this post is, chances are this is not related to CentOS 4.4 and you have better response on a Tesseract or OCR related forum. Thanks for playing, better luck next time :) -- dag wieers, dag at wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [all I want is a warm bed and a kind word and unlimited power]
