Hello,

First of all let me start by saying that I greatly appreciate the amount of effort put into tesseract, how accurate it has become and the fact that is is free :-)
I've read various topics about GPU support, and I understand that at some point OpenCL was planned, but didn't really go through?
Since the newer versions use LSTM, I have to ask, are there any plans to offer CUDA support for training and/or evaluating (batch) documents?
From my limited understanding of LSTM I would have assumed that might make sense, although I also understand that the effort behind doing that would be huge.
I am at a point where tesseract has gotten me good results with a variety of languages, but I can't use it in real-time applications because it seems to
take on average 15 seconds per query, and I have been asked to reduce this to under a second. 
I apologise if this has been discussed before, I did try searching the forum first.

Regards,
Alex

AFAIK there are no official plans for this (there were some companies that were thinking providing this feature, but actually there is no result from this).
