[Annoucement] QT Box Editor 1.09

[zdenko podobny]

QT Box Editor 1.09 was released. It is a multi-platform visual editor for tesseract-ocr box files (used for OCR training) based on QT4 library.

Some of the features:

• undo/redo function
• zooming
• multirow (or multi-symbols) operations
• drag&drop for opening images
• creating box file if not exists - if tesseract 3.02 is configures (you will need just language data)
• export to multiple box files based on font style
• direct mode for fast change of symbol text

For windows users there are binary files (exe + dependencies) created with mingw, QT 4.8.1, leptonica 1.69 and tesseract 3.02 on Windows XP SP3 (32bit). For other platforms you need to compile it from source.

Programmers could be interesting in function that convert leptonica PIX to QImage and QImage to PIX (thanks to Tom Power for example) or example how to create tesseract box file with tesseract API[1].

There are 2 programs that offers this functionality - so I do not see reason why to implement it. I am focus on training on training form real scans (or photos :-( ).

And if you generate box file correctly, then there should be no reason why to edit it (e.g. use box editor) ;-)
