Details

Description: default hocr configuration does not work.

When generating hocr output, tesseract fails and complains about a missing /usr/share/tessdata/osd.traineddata.

This is because /usr/share/tessdata/configs/hocr has an additional line as of 3.03rc1-1:

tessedit_pageseg_mode 1

However, this will not work on arch, as there is no osd data packaged for arch.

Here is the error message:

out.001 - Tesseract Open Source OCR Engine v3.03 with Leptonica
Error opening data file /usr/share/tessdata/osd.traineddata
Please make sure the TESSDATA_PREFIX environment variable is set to the parent directory of your "tessdata" directory.
Failed loading language 'osd'
Tesseract couldn't load any languages!
Warning: Auto orientation and script detection requested, but osd language failed to load

Additional info:
* package version(s): 3.03rc1-1
- I also have tesseract-data-eng, tesseract-data-deu, and tesseract-data-france installed
* config and/or log files etc.: no special config

Steps to reproduce:

call tesseract on scanned pnm file,
- e.g., "tesseract out.001.pnm ocr hocr"

This command works with no problems with 3.02.02-4. However, with 3.03rc1-1, tesseract complains (see error message above).
This task depends upon

Please excuse the typo: The title of the bug should read "tesseract 3.03rc1-1."

If someone has the authority to change it, I would much appreciate it.

The necessary data files seem to reside in tesseract-ocr-3.01.osd.tar.gz which is available together will all the language files here: https://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/downloads/list

As a workaround until the maintainer fixes this one can download/untar the file manually and copy its content to /usr/share/tessdata/

This is probably related to the fact that the current package is also missing training tools.
From
https://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/wiki/Compiling

-------------
If you want the training tools (3.03), you will also need to run the following commands:

make training
sudo make training-install
Build of training tools is not available if you do not have necessary dependencies (pay attention to messages from ./configure script).
