Getting Started

You must add trained data and trained data config file to your assets directory. You can find additional language trained data files here Trained language files

add tessdata folder under assets folder, add tessdata_config.json file under assets folder:

{
  "files": [
    "eng.traineddata",
    "<other_language>.traineddata"
  ]
}

Plugin assumes you have tessdata folder in your assets directory and defined in your pubspec.yaml

Check the contents of example/assets folder and example/pubspec.yaml

Usage

Using is very simple:

//args android only 
String text = await TesseractOcr.extractText('/path/to/image', language: 'kor+eng',
        args: {
          "psm": "4",
          "preserve_interword_spaces": "1",
        });

You can leave language empty, it will default to `'eng'.

// https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata/raw/master/dan_frak.traineddata
// download and read Tessdata (Uint8List)

String newTessDataFile = "deu.traineddata";
Directory d = Directory(await TesseractOcr.getTessdataPath());
d.list().forEach((traineddata) {
  print(traineddata); //current traineddata
});
File('${d.path}/${newTessDataFile}').writeAsBytes([Uint8List bytes]);
