[David_karlsson]

Hi
Does Vintasoft.Imaging.Ocr.Tesseract plugin use Tesseract 4? If not, is it possible to do so?

Can I use multiple languages? In tesseract we can use eng+latin etc.

Hi David,

Current version of Vintasoft OCR .NET Plugin uses Tesseract OCR 3.04. We plan to use Tesseract OCR 4 in near time.

Can I use multiple languages? In tesseract we can use eng+latin etc.

Please read how to recognize text in two languages here:

Near time? 1 month ? 1 year?

I have already read the documentation. In the documentation it says how to OCR interpret different sections of a pdf with different languages.
In tesseract to do a better interpretation of same section (page) it is possible to combine different languages ex. eng+deu.

It can even be used with multiple languages traineddata at a time eg. English and German:
tesseract myscan.png out -l eng+deu

Hi !

Tesseract 4 will be available in version 8.7.2 in 2 months.

Is there any preview of version 8.7.2 ? We have started to develop our system. I need Vintasoft.Imaging.Ocr.Tesseract API for tesseract 4.
Is it possible to access Vintasoft.Imaging.Ocr.Tesseract 8.7.2 in advance?

Version 8.7.2.1 has been released today. In this version the used Tesseract OCR engine has been updated to version 4.0.

Also in version 8.7.2.1 you can specify that text must be recognized in several languages. Here is an example that shows how to recognize text written in English and German languages: https://www.vintasoft.com/docs/vsimagin ... uages.html
