Tesseract OCR is a commercial-grade OCR engine created by HP from 1985 to 1995.
Users of Tesseract OCR can also enjoy a built-in TIFF reader that can read uncompressed TIFF images. For users who require libtiff, it can be easily added to read compressed images. The developers routinely test the software on numerous platforms, including Ubuntu 6.06 (x86/32, x86/64), Ubuntu 6.10 (x86/32, x86/64), and Windows (x86/32).
Although Tesseract OCR is a versatile application that supports various platforms and Linux distributions, such as recent Linux distributions (x86/32, x86/64) and Mac OS X (x86, PPC), the development team lacks the resources to examine them regularly. Users who want to support other languages or platforms can contact Ray Smith to get involved.
Overall, Tesseract OCR is a reliable and efficient OCR engine with features that cater to both novices and experienced users.
