Simple-OCR

Simple-OCR provides a more convenient way of reading PDF's and Images using the Tessaract Engine.

Installation Instructions

  1. Install Tesseract.
  2. Install ImageMagick.

Example Usage

It's very simple to use Simple-OCR:

# Specify the path of your source image or PDF.
img = OCR::Image.new("source.png")

# Specify the output file name, called "destination" here.
img.scan("destination", "-l eng", :pdf)

You can also give custom command line options.

img.scan("destination", "-l eng -psm 1...", :pdf)

It is also possible to specify the output file type, which can either be:

  • pdf
  • txt
  • hocr
img.scan("destination", "-l eng", :txt)
img.scan("destination", "-l eng", :hocr)
