[macOS] tesseract 4.X安装

tesseract下载和安装

        最近在苹果电脑上面安卓tesseract，如果直接用Homebrew安装，如brew install tesseract会安装不成功，提示有个依赖的包无法下载成功，尝试无数次那个出问题的下载地址是无法连到服务器；再试用brew install tesseract --HEAD安装最新的版本，此时编译的时候失败，只说我的电脑版本太低。。。最后参考https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/wiki/Compiling#macos 终于安装成功了：

brew install automake autoconf libtool
brew install pkgconfig
brew install icu4c
brew install leptonica
brew install gcc

brew install pango

 

git clone https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/
cd tesseract
./autogen.sh
./configure CC=gcc-8 CXX=g++-8 CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/opt/icu4c/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/opt/icu4c/lib
make -j
sudo make install  # if desired
make training # if installed with training dependencies

最后用tesseract --version来查看是否安装成功。

安装tesseract多语言

使用tesseract --list-langs查看，会报错：

linfangfangdeMacBook-Pro:tesseract linfangfang$ tesseract --list-langs
Error opening data file /usr/local/share/tessdata/eng.traineddata
Please make sure the TESSDATA_PREFIX environment variable is set to your "tessdata" directory.
Failed loading language 'eng'
Tesseract couldn't load any languages!
List of available languages (0):

可以到https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata_fast查看，发现tesseract多语言包都在这个路径下，需要我们手动下载：

到/usr/local/share下克隆一份，如：

linfangfangdeMacBook-Pro:share linfangfang$ git clone https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata_fast
正克隆到 'tessdata_fast'...
remote: Enumerating objects: 243, done.
remote: Total 243 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 243
接收对象中: 100% (243/243), 335.11 MiB | 1.92 MiB/s, 完成.
处理 delta 中: 100% (40/40), 完成.
正在检出文件: 100% (163/163), 完成.
linfangfangdeMacBook-Pro:share linfangfang$

再把tessdata_fast的文件复制到tessdata文件夹中

linfangfangdeMacBook-Pro:share linfangfang$ sudo cp -rf tessdata_fast/* tessdata/
Password:
linfangfangdeMacBook-Pro:share linfangfang$ cd tessdata
linfangfangdeMacBook-Pro:tessdata linfangfang$ ls

linfangfangdeMacBook-Pro:~ linfangfang$ tesseract --list-langs
List of available languages (161):
afr
amh
ara
asm
aze
aze_cyrl
。。。。。。。。。

此时就可以说明安装成功了，测试下：

linfangfangdeMacBook-Pro:~ linfangfang$ tesseract /Users/linfangfang/Desktop/pic.jpg /Users/linfangfang/Desktop/out -l chi_sim

在桌面上生成一个out.txt的文件，里面就可以获取图片里面的文字了
