tesseract-ocrHow can I use Tesseract-OCR-KZ for software development?

Tesseract-OCR-KZ is a powerful open source Optical Character Recognition (OCR) engine for software development. It can be used to convert scanned documents and images into editable text.

To use Tesseract-OCR-KZ for software development, you need to install the Tesseract-OCR-KZ library on your computer. Then, you can use the Tesseract API to integrate the OCR engine into your software development project.

Here is an example of how to use Tesseract-OCR-KZ for software development:

#include <tesseract/baseapi.h>

int main()
{
    // Create Tesseract object
    tesseract::TessBaseAPI *api = new tesseract::TessBaseAPI();
    // Initialize tesseract to use Kazakh language
    api->Init(NULL, "kaz");
    // Open input image
    Pix *image = pixRead("input.png");
    api->SetImage(image);
    // Get OCR result
    char *outText = api->GetUTF8Text();
    printf("OCR output:\n%s", outText);
    // Destroy used object and release memory
    api->End();
    delete [] outText;
    pixDestroy(&image);

    return 0;
}

This code will read an input image, use Tesseract-OCR-KZ to recognize the text in the image, and print the recognized text as output.

The code consists of the following parts:

• #include <tesseract/baseapi.h>: This is a header file for the Tesseract API.
• tesseract::TessBaseAPI *api = new tesseract::TessBaseAPI();: This creates a Tesseract object.
• api->Init(NULL, "kaz");: This initializes Tesseract to use the Kazakh language.
• Pix *image = pixRead("input.png");: This reads the input image.
• api->SetImage(image);: This sets the image for Tesseract to process.
• char *outText = api->GetUTF8Text();: This gets the OCR result from Tesseract.
• printf("OCR output:\n%s", outText);: This prints the OCR result.
• api->End();: This destroys the Tesseract object.
• delete [] outText;: This releases the memory used by the OCR result.
• pixDestroy(&image);: This releases the memory used by the input image.
