About Tesseract OCR
Tesseract recognises text in images and PDFs in more than a hundred languages using an LSTM neural network engine, outputting plain text, hOCR, TSV or searchable PDF. It is a library and command line tool that many other applications build on.
Strengths
- Over a hundred languages, with trainable models
- Outputs searchable PDFs directly, not just text
Limitations
- Accuracy depends heavily on image preprocessing you must do yourself
- No interface of its own; it is a command line engine
