Tesseract 1.01

Tesseract-1.01

Notes: Tesseract release notes, Sep 7 2006 - V1.01. Fixes for this release: Added mfcpch.cpp and getopt.cpp for VC++. ...

Building Tesseract:

Windows: Unpack the tar.gz archive

Open tesseract.dsw in DevStudio (preferably version 6, higher versions will be more difficult)

Set Win32 - Release as the active configuration.

Build.

Copy tesseract.exe from bin.rel up one directory level.

Run 'tesseract phototest.tif phototest'

This will create phototest.txt. ..."

Tesseract has already been rev'ed, fixing the missing file issue I ran into with v1.0. This version, 1.01, built the first time (in VC++ 6) and the resulting EXE ran like a charm.

It's still not in a shape for heavy production usage, but that's today. I feel there's a good chance this will flower under Google's care and feeding...

Again, it's worth keeping on eye on this (and with RSS feeds that is just so easy  ;)
