tesseract-ocrHow can I use Tesseract OCR with Kotlin?

Using Tesseract OCR with Kotlin is possible with the help of the Tesseract library. This library provides a Java API for Tesseract OCR, which can be used in Kotlin as well. Here's an example of how to use it in Kotlin:

// import the Tesseract library
import net.sourceforge.tess4j.Tesseract

// create a Tesseract instance
val tesseract = Tesseract()

// set the language
tesseract.setLanguage("eng")

// set the image file
val imageFile = File("example.png")

// recognize the text
val text = tesseract.doOCR(imageFile)

// print the result
println(text)

The code above will recognize the text from the example.png image and print the result.

The code consists of the following parts:

1. Importing the Tesseract library: import net.sourceforge.tess4j.Tesseract
2. Creating a Tesseract instance: val tesseract = Tesseract()
3. Setting the language: tesseract.setLanguage("eng")
4. Setting the image file: val imageFile = File("example.png")
5. Recognizing the text: val text = tesseract.doOCR(imageFile)
6. Printing the result: println(text)
