java文字识别程序的关键是寻找一个可以调用的OCR引擎。tesseract-ocr就是一个这样的OCR引擎,在1985年到1995年由HP实验室开发,现在在Google。tesseract-ocr 3.0发布,支持中文。不过tesseract-ocr 3.0不是图形化界面的客户端,别人写的FreeOCR图形化客户端还不支持导入新的 3.0 traineddata。但这标志着,现在有*的中文OCR软件了。
java中使用tesseract-ocr3.01的步骤如下:
1.下载安装tesseract-ocr-setup-3.01-1.exe(3.0以上版本才增加了中文识别)
2.在安装向导中可以选择需要下载的语言包。
3.到网上搜索下载java图形处理所需的2个包:jai_imageio-1.1-alpha.jar,swingx-1.6.1.jar
