Web GUI for training OCRopus

[jbest]

We are in the early stages of developing a simple web GUI for training
OCRopus. Before we take the next step, I wanted to see if anyone here
has done something like this or knows of such a project. It seems the
OCRopus development team has considered making such a product in the
past, but I'm sure that's not the highest priority right now.

We currently only have some simple UI mockups but will probably start
developing something in a few weeks. If anyone has ideas or questions
or other feedback, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
Jason

Hi Jason,

I've been developing a rough prototype Django app for testing various OCR workflow ideas.  I started on integrating some training tools into it but that hasn't really borne much fruit yet.  The still-rather-buggy-and-incomplete code is here in the default repo:

http://code.google.com/p/ocropodium/

No docs as such except for this load of screencasts:

If you're interested in getting it working I'll try and put together some installation/requirements docs.

Cheers,

Mike

Mike, I just took a quick look at your screencasts and this looks
really great. Quite a bit more ambitious than the simple GUI that I
was going to attempt at this stage. We would certainly be interested
in taking a further look at this and get it running locally.
Requirements and install docs would certainly be appreciated but if
you don't have those ready yet, maybe we can make an attempt to get it
running and send any questions to you.

Thanks, I look forward to giving ocropodium a try!
Jason

Hi guys,

Maybe it would be a good idea also to set Ocropus as a back-end for OCRFeeder:

What do you think?

Joaquim, I think it would be great to try this approach also. What
would it take to use OCRFeeder for OCRopus in addition to OCRAD and
Tesseract?

Hi jbest,

Well, it would need more work than adding a "simple" OCR engine.

We'd need to provide an alternative to the current segmentation algorithm but should indeed be doable and I think it would provide a nice way to use Ocropus.

I don't know when I'll have time for this but it's indeed something to think about for the future (and of course, all help is appreciated).
