[vaibhav kurhe]

Hello everyone!
Can anyone tell me can tesseract be used for regional languages in India?
How to use it on ubuntu to extract Marathi or Hindi text from image?

Hi Vaibhav, As far as I know, Marathi language is not available in Tesseract. For Hindi

1. download language data
   sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr-hin
2. tesseract path/to/image stdout -l hin

There is marathi traineddata. However that is not trained with cube engine and hence may not be as accurate.

http://packages.ubuntu.com/wily/tesseract-ocr-mar

You can test with both hin and mar and report your experience.

Thanks!
