[Clarification request] Is it possible to let Tesseract generate three output files i) text ii) hOCR iii) PDF in a *single* run ?

[Tom]

I wish to generate the three meaningful output formats, at least hOCR and PDF, in one run (call).

Questions:

1. Is it possible to generate hOCR and PDF in one go with the present (master branch) version ?
2. Would it become possible (when I write a patch) — or do you foresee special coding problems which would make the single-run approach too complicate ?

[Dovhani Foneworx]

I think you can if you write your own app that make use of tesseract.

[Quan Nguyen]

You can use the new ResultRenderer API in v3.03 to generate different output formats simultaneously.

Quan,

Can it also be done in commandline version?

Sure, if the program is coded for it.

[zdenko podobny]

At the moment tesseract executable allows only one output (per run).

It is a trivial change to allow multiple outputs

Thanks, Zdenko. It is good to be able to get txt, hocr and pdf from single run.

[Tom]

I noticed that the recent HEAD version in git (October 2014) can be used with parameters

tesseract file.png file pdf hocr

to generate all what I want

• file.txt
• file.pdf
• file.hocr

in one go

Many thanks for that l!
