I am trying to install Tesseract OCR on OSX 10.6...
I have got as far as installing leptonic (by downloading src and installing with ./configure; make; sudo make install
) seemingly without any problems - but I don't know how to check.
I also installed Tesseract OCR 3 (from Google Code with ./runautoconf; ./configure; make; sudo make install
) also seemingly without issue - but again I don't know how to check.
When I run tesseract input.jpg .
I get error...
bash-3.2$ tesseract ~/Desktop/DCIM/101_FUJI/DSCF1043.JPG .
Tesseract Open Source OCR Engine with Leptonica
Error in pixReadStreamJpeg: function not present
Error in pixReadStream: jpeg: no pix returned
Error in pixRead: pix not read
Error in fopenReadStream: file not found
Error in pixRead: image file not found
Image file ######
Exif cannot be read!
Similar error if I use tiff file as input.
I think I need some libraries - instructions for Ubuntu say to install libjpeg12-dev etc...
Does anyone have details of how to install tesseract on OSX?
i had to install 'tesseract-eng' to get around segmentation fault 11. – Ian – 2013-06-04T15:23:24.490
