ocrfeeder doesn't detect anything

  • 772

When I try to detect text on my jpeg, it shows correctly all areas where it suspects text and images, but when I export it to ODT it only creates an ODT with empty text- and imageframes.

Do I have to configure tesseract somehow?

(I use Ubuntu 14.10 32bit)

ocr

    Try this:

    Open the ocrfeeder program.

    Edit the engine: Click Tools - OCR Engine

    Select the Tesseract engine and click Edit

    Where it says arguments engine changed the script for this:

    $IMAGE $FILE -l eng -psm 3 > /dev/null 2> /dev/null; cat $FILE.txt; rm $FILE $FILE.txt

    To export the document click File - Export

    Select the desired output format.

    If the document has pictures I advise using the html format text.

    If only has text the best is to use the format plain text txt .
