tesseract-ocrHow can I use the Tesseract OCR library in a Rust project?

To use the Tesseract OCR library in a Rust project, you will need to install the tesseract-ocr crate.

Once installed, you can use the Tesseract struct to create a new Tesseract instance. This instance can then be used to process images and extract text.

extern crate tesseract_ocr;

use tesseract_ocr::{Tesseract};

fn main() {
    let tesseract = Tesseract::new(None).unwrap();
    let text = tesseract.process_image_for_string("image.png").unwrap();
    println!("{}", text);
}

Output example

This is some text in an image

The code example above will create a new instance of Tesseract and use it to process the image image.png and extract the text from it.
