Optical character recognition engine
Tesseract is an optical character recognition (OCR) engine with very high accuracy. It supports many languages, output text formatting, hOCR positional information and page layout analysis. Several image formats are supported through the Leptonica library. It can also detect whether text is monospaced or proportional.
This package contains an OCR engine - libtesseract and a command line program - tesseract.
