# Vesseract

A "WIP" V wrapper for Tesseract-OCR inspired by pytesseract wrapper!

Tesseract OCR is a optical character recognition software made by Google,

it can "read" text from an image.

You need to install Tesseract 4 and register it in your path.

Install the package from VPM:

```

v install barrack-obama.vesseract

```

# Quickstart

```v

import barrack-obama.vesseract

// Extract text from image

// Image: path - lang: Language for tesseract - args: custom arguments

text := vesseract.image_to_string(

        image: 'sample/demo.png', lang: 'eng', args: '') or {

		panic(err)

}

// Or simply: vesseract.image_to_string_path('sample/demo.png')

// "Got: Hi from Vesseract !"

println("Got: $text")

// Get Tesseract version

version := vesseract.get_tesseract_version() or { panic(err) }

// 4.1.0 installed: "Tesseract 4 - 1 - 0 detected!"

println("Tesseract $version.major - $version.minor - $version.patch detected!")

// Get languages supported by Tesseract

langs := vesseract.get_languages() or { panic(err) }

// Example: "['afr', 'amh', 'ara', 'asm', ... 'uzb_cyrl', 'vie', 'yid', 'yor']"

println("$langs")

// Get alto xml - Require Tesseract >4.1.0

alto := vesseract.image_to_alto_xml_path('sample/demo.png') or { panic(err) }

// "XML:  ... "

println("XML: $alto")

// Get bounding boxes for letters

boxes := image_to_boxes(image: 'sample/demo.png', lang: 'eng', args: '') or { panic(err) }

println("$boxes")

/* "[.Tesseract_box{

    letter: 'H'

    x1: 68

    y1: 206

    x2: 91

    y2: 235

    page: 0

}, ... "

// Check if a language model exists in Tesseract

if (vesseract.is_language_code_supported("fra")) {

    // Do stuff...

} else {

    // Use another model instead...

}

```
