Development environment

[Karpov]

Hi all,

I am kind of newy and I would like to start to play around with
Tesseract. Therefore, I was searching for some information about what
would be the most suitable development environment for contributing
with tesseract.
I would like to download from the SVN the source code but I did not
find any information about how to develop for tesseract, the best set-
up for development I mean.

Any information would help.

Greetings,
Karpov

Hi all,

I am about at the same stage.
My environments of choice are Linux and OSX.
I have compiled tesseract ( tesseract-3.00.tar.gz) on OSX 10.6.5.
No Problem so far.
I am looking for some documents of architecture of the tesseract
system. I have not found any yet.
I also went to get the stuff required in the testing directory.
I have looked at http://www.isri.unlv.edu/downloads/AT-1995.pdf
but get rejected by the server ( no page ).
Has anyone an alternate location for this data ?

Regards

Most of the data is available at http://code.google.com/p/isri-ocr-evaluation-tools/

The greyscale images are missing, as they are rather large.

Hello Ray,

what's the legal status of ISRI-OCRtk images?
Meanwhile, I'd like to fix the code a little bit.

Best regards,
Ilya

I was asked to save the data and republish it before it became unavailable from UNLV, so I have it safe and sound.
The code (and data) are available under the apache 2 license.

This is just great!
I will assume that the grayscale images that I downloaded from UNLV
previously are also covered under Apache 2 license. Please tell me if
it's not so.
