Tesseract: a wrapper for the Tesseract OCR engine

================================================

A small PHP >=5.3 library that makes working with the open source [Tesseract OCR engine](https://github.com/tesseract-ocr) 

easier.

Installation

------------

You need a working Tesseract installation. For more information about 

installation and adding language support, see Tesseract’s [README](https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/blob/master/README.md).

Then install this library, which is available on [Packagist](http://packagist.org/packages/ddeboer/tesseract),

through [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/):

    $ composer require ddeboer/tesseract:1.0

Usage

-----

If the `tesseract` binary is in your path, just do:

```php

use Ddeboer\Tesseract\Tesseract;

$tesseract = new Tesseract();

```

Otherwise, construct Tesseract with the path to the binary:

```php

$tesseract = new Tesseract('/usr/local/bin/tesseract');

```

Get version and supported languages information:

```php

$version = $tesseract->getVersion();

$languages = $tesseract->getSupportedLanguages();

```

Perform OCR on an image file:

```php

$text = $tesseract->recognize('myfile.tif');

```

Optionally, specify the language(s) as second argument:

```php

$text = $tesseract->recognize('myfile.tif', array('nld', 'eng'));

```

And specify Tesseract’s page seg mode as third argument:

```php

$text = $tesseract->recognize('myfile.tif', null, Tesseract::PAGE_SEG_MODE_AUTOMATIC_OSD);

```
