Tesseract Training Error (How can i train Handwriting)

[Tobias Schwarz]

Hi,

I just started the first steps in tesseract so I am really a nobbie ,

the idea is to teach tesseract for Handwriting. 

I use 

tesseract v3.02

cowboxer v1.02

_______________________________________

after i failed to install the the most of the boxtools for tesseract

because of missing dll files and Errors  like this:   -1-

------------------------------------------------------------------

I found the Cowboxer tool, witch as far as I can say works perfectly well.

I have already created  a tif and boxfile for training and given the same name to it.

The next Step now is really a problem, I tried to start training over the Command Line the two ways, like described in the manual here

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

Is anyone familiar with the problem and knows how what can be to solve it??    

Or did Handwriteteaching befor and can offer some helpfull practice tipps, tricks, documentation??

************** JIT Debugging **************

To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this

application or computer (machine.config) must have the

jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.

The application must also be compiled with debugging

enabled.

 

For example:

 

<configuration>

    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />

</configuration>

 

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception

will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer

rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Hi Tobias,

You're misreading the wiki slightly. The parts in square brackets in
commands mean "replace this with your actual names as appropriate".

So on the wiki:
tesseract [lang].[fontname].exp[num].tif [lang].[fontname].exp[num] box.train
Means something like this (for example):
tesseract deu.times.exp0.tif deu.times.exp0 box.train

That's a common idiom for computer instructions, so remember it ;)

Thank you i will keep that in Mind.

After i renamed the tif and boxfiles to:

deu.handwriting.exp0.tif 

and 

deu.handwriting.exp0.box 

i have an result now.

The Image/Tif file opens up after exicuting the command:

deu.handwriting.exp0.tif deu.handwriting.exp0 box.train

the issue now is that in the _Tessdata Folder_ is no _tr_File_generated/shown  and it doesn´t show and report to the training like this

[Awsomo :(]

and now its getting worse,

i tried again now i am getting message but that aint better..

The .tr files are saved in your working directory. So in this
example they will be in the folder:
C:\Users\Michael\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\Project1\OCRTest\TIFFMaker

The "FAILURE! Couldn't find a matching blob" message means that the
places in the box file that a character is described don't appear to
match up with the image provided. A few of these will be inevitable,
but for every character, something must be wrong. Check your box
file with a GUI box editor (see this wiki page
https://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/wiki/AddOns).

[Awsomo :(]

there is a problem also,

-Visual C+ 2005 installed.

-Visual C+ 2008 installed.

-Visual C+ 2010 installed.

I tried allready to install all of them, is missing or the debugging should be activated 

https://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/wiki/AddOns

, within the installation where errors reported like mingwm10.dll

 

i tried allready to fix this, i downloaded the mingwm10.dll didn´t work out 

tried to find information how to activate debugging and how to open visual c+ User interface. 

<configuration>

    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />

</configuration>

if i execute this over the Command Field i get an syntaxerror.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/5hs4b7a6.aspx 

this was not helpfull to i mean witch dialog they are talking about i have an error dialog where i can´t select options..

or The UNC path should be of the form \\server\share

i see no way to fix this..

[Awsomo :(]

Thank you for respond i am really grateful for that. I solved that problem now!
