Tesseract Crashes for Spanish Language

[Pablo Andres Araya Melo]

Hi,

I have:

tesseract 4.0.0-beta.1
 leptonica-1.75.3
  libgif 5.1.4 : libjpeg 8d (libjpeg-turbo 1.5.2) : libpng 1.6.34 : libtiff 4.0.9 : zlib 1.2.11 : libwebp 0.6.1 : libopenjp2 2.3.0

 Found AVX2
 Found AVX
 Found SSE

it crashes (computer reboots) when I use 

tesseract image.jpg out -l spa -psm 6

It therefore crashes when I use pytesseract inside python package.

I am using Kubuntu 18.04.

Any ideas how to fix this?

[Zdenko Podobny]

Your tesseract version is outdated. Please update.

Next: try to use  spa data from tessdata_best...

I updated tesseract from github, I now have

tesseract 4.0.0-251-g44038

 leptonica-1.75.3
  libgif 5.1.4 : libjpeg 8d (libjpeg-turbo 1.5.2) : libpng 1.6.34 : libtiff 4.0.9 : zlib 1.2.11 : libwebp 0.6.1 : libopenjp2 2.3.0

 Found AVX2
 Found AVX
 Found SSE

It works with '-l spa', but when I do '--psm 6', it crashes.

Any ideas?

Thank you!

You have not mentioned which traineddata file you are using.

Please share the image. Also note the commands used and their output.

I am using spa.tessdata

What do you mean with commands used and their output?

There are 3 version of "spa" data. Which one use?

Regarding command: how to you run tesseract?

I use spa.tessdata from here

https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata/blob/master/spa.traineddata

As for usage, I do

tesseract norm.jpg out -l spa --psm 6

this works ok on my laptop, but on my desktop, it crashes. Both systems are Kubuntu 18.04

Thank you!

Please check tesseract version on both.

tesseract -v

Also check the version of of the traineddata file on each.

On my laptop:

tesseract 4.0.0-beta.1
 leptonica-1.75.3
  libgif 5.1.4 : libjpeg 8d (libjpeg-turbo 1.5.2) : libpng 1.6.34 : libtiff 4.0.9 : zlib 1.2.11 : libwebp 0.6.1 : libopenjp2 2.3.0

 Found AVX2
 Found AVX
 Found SSE

This was installed from Kubuntu packages, so the tessdata comes from there.

On my desktop:

tesseract 4.0.0-251-g44038
 leptonica-1.75.3
  libgif 5.1.4 : libjpeg 8d (libjpeg-turbo 1.5.2) : libpng 1.6.34 : libtiff 4.0.9 : zlib 1.2.11 : libwebp 0.6.1 : libopenjp2 2.3.0

 Found AVX2

This was installed from github, and tessdata comes from  https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata/blob/master/spa.traineddata

Thank you!

Please try with traineddata file from tessdata_best and tessdata_fast

Also give the exact error message/console output.

Are those test data for Spanish language?

Also I can not give error message as tesseract crashes making the desktop to reboot. Do you know a way to save to text file?

[Zdenko Podobny]

IMO if any program can cause crash of computer/reboot of system you have a big problem (not related to tesseract). 

Please try to search forum - I think there was already somebody with similar issue.

https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata_best/blob/master/spa.traineddata

https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata_fast/blob/master/spa.traineddata

Alternately, look up the file size of spa.traineddata on your desktop and laptop. You can try copying the one from laptop (working version) to desktop.

I was actually thinking the same thing, however, plain tesseract (with ou options) works, so I don't know what to think.

Will look in the forum for similar issues.
