About
Turn pictures of text into text you can use. Point the tesseract command at a PNG, JPEG or TIFF image and get plain text, hOCR, PDF, TSV, ALTO or PAGE output. It recognizes more than 100 languages out of the box.
The package includes the libtesseract library and a command-line program, but no graphical app. Version 4 added a neural-network engine focused on line recognition, while the older engine remains available. Results depend on image quality, so cleaning up the input helps. You can also train it for other languages.

- Reads PNG, JPEG and TIFF images
