<h3>
DESCRIPTION
</h3>
<p>
Tess4J is a JNA wrapper for <a href="https://github.com/tesseract-ocr">Tesseract OCR
API</a>; it provides character recognition support for common image formats,
multi-page images, and PDF documents. The library has been developed and tested
on Windows and Linux.
</p>
<p>
Tess4J is released and distributed under the <a href="http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html">
Apache License, v2.0</a>. Its official homepage is at <a href="http://tess4j.sourceforge.net/">
http://tess4j.sourceforge.net</a>.
</p>
<h3>
SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
</h3>
<p>
<a href="http://java.oracle.com/">Java Runtime Environment</a>, <a href="https://github.com/twall/jna">
JNA</a>, and <a href="https://java.net/projects/jai-imageio">JAI-ImageIO</a>
are required. <a href="http://ant.apache.org/">Apache Ant</a> and <a href="http://www.junit.org/">
JUnit</a> are used for program building and unit testing. The Tesseract DLLs
were built with VS2015 and therefore depend on the <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=53587">
Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Packages</a>.
</p>
<h3>
INSTRUCTIONS
</h3>
<p>
Tesseract 3.05.01 and Leptonica 1.74.4 (via Lept4J) 32- and 64-bit
DLLs, language data for English, and sample images are bundled with the library.
<a href="https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata">Language data packs</a> for
Tesseract should be decompressed and placed into the <code>tessdata</code> folder.
</p>
<p>
The Linux shared object library (<code>libtesseract.so</code>) equivalent to the
DLL is available in Tesseract 3.05.01, which can be built from the <a href="https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract"
target="_blank">source</a> with the instructions given in <a href="https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/wiki/Compiling"
target="_blank">Tesseract Wiki</a>.
</p>
<p>
To unit test, at the command line, execute:
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
<code>ant test</code>
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Support for PDF documents is available through either
<a href="http://www.ghostscript.com/" target="_blank">GPL Ghostscript</a>, which should be installed and included
in system path, or PDFBox, if Ghostscript is not available.
</p>
<p>
Images to be OCRed should be scanned at resolution from at least 200 DPI (dot per
inch) to 400 DPI in monochrome (black&white) or grayscale. Scanning at higher
resolutions will not necessarily result in better recognition accuracy. The actual
success rates depend greatly on the quality of the scanned image. The typical settings
for scanning are 300 DPI and 1 bpp (bit per pixel) black&white or 8 bpp grayscale
uncompressed TIFF or PNG format. PNG is usually smaller in size than other image
formats and still keeps high quality due to its employing lossless data compression
algorithms; TIFF has the advantage of the ability to contain multiple images (pages)
in a file.
</p>
<p>
Several built-in functions are also provided for merging several images or PDF files
into a single one for convenient OCR operations, or for splitting a PDF file into
smaller ones if it is too large, which can cause out-of-memory exceptions.
</p>
<h3>
CODE EXAMPLES
</h3>
<p>
The following code example shows common usage of the library. Make sure <code>tessdata</code>
folder is populated with appropriate language data files and the <code>.jar</code>
files are in the classpath. On Windows, the DLLs will be automatically extracted
from <code>tess4j.jar</code> to the default temporary directory and loaded.
</p>
<blockquote>
<pre>
package net.sourceforge.tess4j.example;
import java.io.File;
import net.sourceforge.tess4j.*;
public class TesseractExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// ImageIO.scanForPlugins(); // for server environment
File imageFile = new File("eurotext.tif");
ITesseract instance = new Tesseract(); // JNA Interface Mapping
// ITesseract instance = new Tesseract1(); // JNA Direct Mapping
// instance.setDatapath("<parentPath>"); // replace <parentPath> with path to parent directory of tessdata
// instance.setLanguage("eng");
try {
String result = instance.doOCR(imageFile);
System.out.println(result);
} catch (TesseractException e) {
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
}
}
}
</pre>
