Re: how to get tesseract to run on an entire folder

[Quan Nguyen]

No, you cannot run a batch of files like that with Tesseract; it has to be a Tesseract invocation for each file.

Or you can use VietOCR, a GUI frontend for Tesseract that supports batch or bulk OCR.

I have a folder of too many documents I would like to OCR. It would be to time consuming to type it all one by one

I tried 

tesseract *.tif * hocr 

but I get the following error message 

read_params_file: parameter not found: II*

How do I wildcard it. I am using tesseract 3.02 and ubuntu x64

Learn bourne shell ;)

This will work fine for you (so long as files aren't strangely
named):

for i in *tif; do b=`basename "$i" .tif`; tesseract "$i" "$b" hocr; done
