Re: [orca-list] Ocrdesktop in Ubuntu

[Rastislav Kish <rastislav kish protonmail com>]

Hi,

yes, it is possible.


Just do:


sudo apt install python3-pip -y
sudo apt install tesseract-ocr libwnck-3-0 -y
pip3 install --upgrade pillow
pip3 install pdf2image pytesseract scipy webcolors

git clone https://github.com/chrys87/ocrdesktop
cd ocrdesktop
sudo cp ocrdesktop /usr/local/bin

Then, set your shortcut to a command like this:

ocrdesktop -b -l eng


Where the -b will turn on a white/black mode, which tends to perform
really well, and the -l option specifies the used language.


If you want to use language different from eng, for example ces for
Czech, do:

sudo apt install tesseract-ocr-<lang>


where <lang> stands for the language code.


When setting the code in the ocrdesktop command, you can also use
multiple languages at once like this:

ocrdesktop -b -l eng+ces


For a combination of English and Czech, as an example.


Best regards


Rastislav
