Simple example

[Richard Barraclough]

Hi,

I'm trying to get a simple example to work but can't.

With the attached file I run

```

$ tesseract tesseract.jog tesseract

```

and was expecting to get a file `tesseract.txt` containing the text `12.3`.

However although `tesseract.txt` is created it is empty.

The only output from the `tesseract` command is

```

Estimating resolution as 1281

```

Don't understand.

Maybe because you did not read the documentation?

TESSERACT(1)                                                                                                                                                                                                               TESSERACT(1)

NAME
       tesseract - command-line OCR engine

SYNOPSIS
       tesseract FILE OUTPUTBASE [OPTIONS]... [CONFIGFILE]...

DESCRIPTION
       tesseract(1) is a commercial quality OCR engine originally developed at HP between 1985 and 1995. In 1995, this engine was among the top 3 evaluated by UNLV. It was open-sourced by HP and UNLV in 2005, and has been developed
       at Google since then.

IN/OUT ARGUMENTS
       FILE
           The name of the input file. This can either be an image file or a text file.

           Most image file formats (anything readable by Leptonica) are supported.

           A text file lists the names of all input images (one image name per line). The results will be combined in a single file for each output file format (txt, pdf, hocr, xml).

           If FILE is stdin or - then the standard input is used.

       OUTPUTBASE
           The basename of the output file (to which the appropriate extension will be appended). By default the output will be a text file with .txt added to the basename unless there are one or more parameters set which
           explicitly specify the desired output.

           If OUTPUTBASE is stdout or - then the standard output is used.

```

tesseract tesseract.jpg output --oem 1 -l eng

```

still nothing.

Do you even know how to make it work?

If you do then why not just tell me instead of being a cunt?
