Hi Clint, after you install tesseract and tesseract libraries and tesseract dev libraries (using packages or from source) you can call it from your program. If you are using C++ just call it, if you are using other languages you need to find a wrapper/bindings library (for example tesserocr for python). Or you can call the "tesseract" executable as an external process from your program like you would do on command line.
It makes absolutely no difference if you are doing it from a web application or from a simple command line application. Google "tesseract YOUR_LANGUAGE library". The tesseract library for your language will give you the examples on how to use it. I suppose you have the permissions to install software on the server you are using, globally (as root) or as local user. I would recommend using your distribution packages if possible. If you cannot install software on the server you cannot use tesseract. Use Tesseract.js as you did. If you can only upload static files you cannot use tesseract. You need a process running server-side (PHP, Python, Node, ...). Lorenzo Il giorno ven 13 set 2019 alle ore 16:07 Timothy Snyder < [email protected]> ha scritto: > Perfect.
