Tesseract at UB Mannheim

The Mannheim University Library (UB Mannheim) uses Tesseract to perform OCR of historical German newspapers (Allgemeine Preußische Staatszeitung, Deutscher Reichsanzeiger).

Normally we run Tesseract on Debian GNU Linux, but there was also the need for a Windows version. That's why we have built a Tesseract installer for Windows.

The latest installer can be downloaded here: tesseract-ocr-setup-3.05.00dev.exe. There may be also older versions available.

History:

  • 2016-08-31 Update with latest bug fixes for text2image.
  • 2016-08-28 Update with latest bug fixes.
  • 2016-07-11 TIFF warnings are now shown on the console (no longer disturbing message windows).
  • 2016-05-13 The new installer now includes the executables needed for training, too. It is based on the latest Tesseract sources.
