What is the state of the C and Python APIs?

[Luke Brandl]

I've been working to understand Tesseract and looking through the C and Python API code and documentation. It looks like some of the code and documentation are up to date, while the rest refers to 3.0.2 at least in the comments. Does anyone know the state of the API? Are any particular functionalities of it usable or is it a case by case basis? I just want to know how big of an endeavor it would be to update the it before I start debugging using/updating it myself.

Hi Luke,

I haven't done much with Tesseract for a while, but I updated the C
API a few years ago, and it was really straightforward to do. It's a
very light wrapper around Tesseract, so it should be easy to update
yourself if needed.

That said, I haven't kept up with recent development, so I may be
out of date, but I suspect it's still quite straightforward.

Best,

Nick
