Sir ,

I have attached the format of jTessBoxEditor.

It could open the image file, please tell me how to open the box file using this editor.

or is it necessary to open the tif file and convert into box.

Please suggest me.

thanking you

[Sven Pedersen]

JDK is only needed for development, so you should not need it for the box editor. And the Mozilla plugin is needed only for the web browser.

Mamata,

It all depends on what you want to do.

If you want to open an image file and have the tesseract software create a box file for it, then you should try QTBOXeditor. I have found it to work well with single page .png files. It does not work for me for both single and multipage tifs. These box files need to be edited to correct the text placed for the boxes by tesseract.

If you have a text file, for which you want to generate a matching tif and box file (without using tesseract) using the provided text, please use jTessBoxEditor

Menu item -

Tools

Generate Tiff/Box

Later you can modify the box files through the editor.

Please read the program documentation / help file for more details.

You would need to run the tesseract command to generate the box file for your image, e.g.:

tesseract eng.timesitalic.exp0.tif eng.timesitalic.exp0 batch.nochop makebox

Check Tesseract Training Wiki for more details.

http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/wiki/TrainingTesseract3

Once you have the TIFF/Box pair, you can open it in jTessBoxEditor.

[mamata nayak]

Thank you sir.

I could able to detect a set of character set of my language.

However a single character among all of those i.e ଫୀ is recognized as character pairs differently at different place in training image such as କ୍ଷୀଛୀ, ନୀନୀ .ଯୀଛୀ, ପୀଛୀ, ବୀନୀ as it occurs 5 times
.

then i use unicharambigs file having the information as follows
v1
2    କ୍ଷୀ ଛୀ    1    ଫୀ    1   
2    ନୀ ନୀ    1    ଫୀ    1
2    ଯୀ ଛୀ    1    ଫୀ    1
2    ପୀ ଛୀ    1    ଫୀ    1
2    ବୀ ନୀ    1    ଫୀ    1

But the problem while recognizing these pair of characters it replace with ଫୀ

So please understood my problem and give suggestion.

Please see https://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/downloads/list for the available language data friles for tesseract 3.02. In case Odia is similar to bangala, you can use the bengali traineddata to bootstrap for odia.

Yes. The latest version supports RTL languages.

i have downloaded the lates version 1.1 of jtessbox editor but i am unable to see the Arabic language option from the list. that's why you can see my text is not appearing in Arabic.

Question: How can i get the Arabic text so i can generate TIFF of that.   Moreover i have tried coptic language but get no result.

Please also  change the FONT under TRAINER tab to Arabic .

thanks for your reply. i am able to type Arabic in jtessbox builder and also entered the Arabic Language in the text box under trainer tab. but when i give the attached (arabic) input file, text is not displayed in Arabic (please see my previous attachment).

Question: how can i get the text in in Arabic in jtessbox editor to generate Tiff while giving the attached input ِfile containing Arabic language

[ShreeDevi Kumar]

Click on the 'generate' box - with some devanagri fonts I have found that text does not display but the tiff/box are generated. Maybe same for the arabic font you are using. Give it a try.

You can also try to copy and paste the text, sometimes that works.

[iram akbar]

thank you for your help but my issue still exits. if i need to generate the Tiff of an image text i am unable to generate the TIFF as it only ask to load the text file not image file. second if i have a lots of documents i need to copy paste first then generate the TIFF. Any one else can help me in this.

Question: how can i Input the Arabic text image in jtessbox editor to generate Tiff (as attached). 

[ShreeDevi Kumar]

​I think you are using the wrong tools ...

If you need to convert a jpg to tif, use an image editor such as imagemagick, irfanview

If you need to OCR the image, tesseract accepts jpg as input as well as tif

There already is arabic traineddata for tesseract - see https://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/source/browse/?repo=tessdata

A newer version of traineddata should be available with the release of 3.04 which should be soon.

Regarding creating box/tiff 

I was able to use Jtessboxeditor for creating arabic box/tiff - I just copied some text from wikipedia and pasted in the Jtess.

see attached..

Look in samples folder for a working example. You can start out from a UTF-8 text file about 2-page long, generate TIFF/Box from it, and prepare other necessary input files for training. You can train entirely in jTessBoxEditor.

Quan,

i am able to generate some files with jtess ox editor but i am having an issue, when i select "Train with existing box" or "Train from Scratch" under the Trainer tab i am getting this attached message.

Look under jtessboxeditor/samples/vie folder

and create similar files for your language

thank you for your help regarding training data. one more thing there is a icon near character box (see attachment). it is not functional on my side. i was expecting by clicking the icon it will give you correction option. 

Question: is it active or not active?

[Quan Nguyen]

You can edit the letters by manually typing in the Character textbox or in the Char table cells.

[iram akbar]

Hi,

i am able to generate the required files with jtessbox editor. i want to use Serak for training but i am getting attached error.Debugging give me no solution. according to my knowledge you don't need to generate the files like "frequent words file" in Serak. You just need to train the image and then combine the tessdata and you will get the required output file. 

note: i am training Arabic. 

Question: why i am getting the attached error although i am training simple Arabic 1 line sentence . please share the solution.

[iram akbar]

FYI: i have found that by giving different fonts in jtessbox editor you will got below above error. so now i am creating TIFF by giving "Monospaced" font as per default jtessbox editor settings. 

[iram akbar]

Hello shree,

i am having an issue while training arabic in Serak (for box file generation i am using jtessbox editor). i am doing some testing. i have assigned  english alphabet for a single arabic word and created the box file as attached (jtessbox file). now following all training process in serak i got the OCR result as attached. although you can see in the box file there is 4 alphabets "A,B,C,D" but i was expecting OCR result will be ABCD but the results are BDBBAABBBBA as attached (serak result).

Question: why i a getting that result? is it some wrong while making box file in jtessbox editor or training in serak?

it seems its a known issue of Serak. i have created the "ara" folder with files as "vie" folder in jtessbox editor as you can see in attachment. after that i have set the box file path in jtessbox editor of "Tesseract executable" and "Training data" for "ara" as attached. when i click the "Run" button i got the attached error. i don't know what goes wrong here.

Question: m i giving the wrong file in the path in "Tesseract executable" and "Training data" i.e ara box file? or what goes wrong.

note: i have put no data words_list, frequent_words, font_properties file.
