not identify Chinese

[hijoys]

the Ocrad.js was unable to properly identify Chinese.

feature request +1

the Ocrad documentation page said it support charset, could we expose this option to ocrad.js API?

[cades]

just play with ocrad command, find it only support charset: ascii iso-8859-9 iso-8859-15
which means chinese is not supported... what a pity :(

Yeah, Ocrad doesn't support anything other than the basic latin character set. However, I'm currently working on a port of Tesseract (I'm figuring out how to make it smaller and faster right now)— and it should be possible to get Chinese to work with that.

@antimatter15 any updates on that port with chinese characters?

[antimatter15]

It'll be launching within a week, keep tuned.
