Never mind. I just didn't look "way to the right in the upper corner." That selection was all by itself and I missed it. User error.
All is good, now. Interesting thing is that I can load up one of the TIFF files in VietOCR, the exact same one I might attempt a command line with tesseract on, and there is no crash and VietOCR just does a fairly okay job of conversion to text. It's still some manual labor, but works fairly well just the same. But if I then drop into a command line box under Win7 64-bit, and try out the tesseract command directly, it crashes on that same image file. So perhaps there is something that VietOCR does in setting up a process for executing tesseract that I am NOT getting when I just fire up the command box. Because both manually and with VietOCR, the same tesseract.exe is being used and so is the same input file. Or something else I'm missing. One other item. The ImageMagick installation suggests that I do this: convert logo: logo.miff imdisplay logo.miff With either the Q8 (32-bit code) or Q16 versions (64-bit code), the first command works fine. But the second line always fails with an error disalog box and doesn't work. But if I just type 'imdisplay' then the program fires up just fine and if I then load the logo.miff file, it also displays just fine. So there may be something wrong with my command line box settings that I'm ignorant about, too. I will get some time to try all this on a Win7 Ultimate 64-bit, with a system I pieced together myself from parts. Both are Intel I7, but the one I built up is very new and hasn't had much added to it. It is fairly plain and gets me closer to an ideal installation (or so I imagine.) Thanks again. And that VietOCR software is very nice!! Good advice and much appreciated. Jon -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tesseract-ocr" group.
