How to Initialize Tesseract with LSTM Based Models for Hungarian OCR

Developing applications that recognize text from images can be challenging, especially when working with specific languages like Hungarian. Tesseract, an open-source OCR (Optical Character Recognition) engine, may throw errors when trying to use a language trained only with the LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) model. In this guide, we explore the common issues developers face when initializing Tesseract for Hungarian language recognition and present a clear solution.

Understanding the Problem

While trying to develop an OCR application using Tesseract with Hungarian language support, many developers encounter initialization problems. One common error message is:

This often occurs when attempting to use a language-specific trained data file that requires the LSTM model for text recognition. Since the Hungarian trained data may not work with the standard Tesseract engine, users might feel stuck.

Key Points to Note:

Using the wrong trained data file can lead to initialization errors.

LSTM models are crucial for accurately recognizing Hungarian text.

The issue persists even after trying different versions of the trained data.

Exploring the Solution

Step 1: Download the Right Trained Data

First and foremost, ensure you have the correct version of the Hungarian trained data file (hun.traineddata). It appears that switching to an older version of the trained data may offer better compatibility with the LSTM engine. Here’s how to do that:

Navigate to the Tesseract training data repository.

Search for the Hungarian trained data files.

Download an older version of hun.traineddata.

Step 2: Update Your Code for Tesseract Initialization

Your initialization code should be set up correctly to call the LSTM model. Here’s a refined version of your code snippet that integrates the latest version of the trained data.

Step 3: Ensure Compatibility with the Library

Ensure that you are using a compatible library version, in this case com.rmtheis:tess-two:9.1.0, as any discrepancies here can lead to errors.

Step 4: Troubleshoot

If you still encounter issues:

Double-check the path of your tessData folder.

Verify the existence of the appropriate trained data file.

Ensure there are no conflicting versions of the library in your project.

Conclusion

Successfully implementing Tesseract with the LSTM model for Hungarian OCR can truly enhance the capability of your applications. By downloading an appropriate version of the trained data and ensuring your code is correct, you can navigate through initialization challenges.
