DESCRIPTION
-----------
QT Box Editor is tool for adjusting [tesseract-ocr](https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract) v3 (a.k.a Legacy engine) box files. Aim of this project is to provide easy and efficient way for editing regardless file size.
**It is useless for training tesseract v4 and above (LSTM engine).**
Release information can be found in CHANGELOG file. Code and artwork contribution is welcomed.
QT box editor is a successor of [tesseract-gui project](https://github.com/mk219533/tesseract-gui) that is not developed anymore. Name of application was changed due to name collision with project http://tesseract-gui.sourceforge.net.
