I downloaded executable file of tesseract-OCR and installed it. On the other hand, I also downloaded a zipfile of leptonica from http://www.leptonica.com/download.html. It includes two directory that is lib
and include
.
Next I tried to do pip install tesserocr
in a python virtualenvironment and it returned error
tesserocr.cpp(460) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'leptonica/allheaders.h': No such file or directory
I noticed that allheaders.h
is in include
directory from the leptonica file I downloaded earlier. How do I solve this? Where should I put the directory include
and lib
I got from leptonica to make this work?
Is there any other way to install tesseract-ocr
and use tesserocr
properly on windows computer? Currently I am using Windows 10 to run my python script that use tesseract-ocr to recognize some character on image. I also plan to run the script on windows 7 computer later.
Thank you for your help.
Basically,To install any pacakge on windows , go to LIBS location and run the command
for tesseract either follow here : http://emop.tamu.edu/Installing-Tesseract-Windows8
OR
Download set up from here ( https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pytesseract) and double click on set up. Hope it helps.
This method works for me perfectly: Use Anaconda to install TesserOCR in an environment named OCR
https://www.anaconda.com/distribution/#download-section and in the prompt command write
Use Anaconda to install
TesserOCR
in an environment namedOCR
Open Anaconda Prompt:
conda create -n OCR python=3.6
activate OCR
For tesseract 3.5.1 (stable):
conda install -c simonflueckiger tesserocr
OR for tesseract 4.0.0 (experimental):
conda install -c simonflueckiger/label/tesseract-4.0.0-master tesserocr
OR download the wheel file matching your Windows platform and Python installation from here and install it via:
pip install <path_to_your_wheel_file>
