( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Funny.. I was just updating PDF::OCR. Let me update the package first. I have PDF::GetImage and Image::OCR::Tesseract to update, then PDF::OCR.

It's pretty well tested, I use it a lot at work. If other people were to use it, I could get technical feedback to make it better.

I also have an indexer that records all text content and an interface to search it. Thus, you can have a million docs scanned in and search text content- then it tells you the file location, the page, and line number. That part is a little more complex, because indexing has to be done in parallel with multiple cpus- otherwise it would take 30 days for 60k docs.

update

Make sure to see the README, there are other notes and tesseract install help things in there to help out. I suggest you check out the packages individually instead of using cpan.

The whole thing works like a marvel. Take a look at the INSTALL help file, if you need help just email me per instructions.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
