A plugin for extracting text from attached images using OCR<\/a> via Tesseract<\/a>.\nThis plugin adds a new post named for each image upload containing any recognized text characters within the file.\nThis text can then be edited for accuracy and used elsewhere on the site.<\/p>\n\n

The OCR plugin requires a supported version of PHP with the GD extension and the following command line utility:\n* Tesseract<\/a> for the actual OCR\nThis utility must be manually installed on your server and executable by PHP.\nThis process, and consequently this plugin, is recommended only for advanced users.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Install Tesseract OCR on your server (Tesseract wiki<\/a>)<\/li>\n
  2. Search and add the plugin from WordPress, or upload a copy of the source to your \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory<\/li>\n
  3. Activate the plugin through the Plugins<\/code> menu in WordPress<\/li>\n
  4. Configure the plugin through the Plugins > OCR<\/code> link in the sidebar menu in WordPress<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
    \n

    What is Tesseract OCR and where do I get it?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Tesseract OCR is an open source optical character recognition<\/a> library that\nthe WordPress OCR plugin uses to extract text from images.\nThe library as well as installation instructions can be found at\nhttps:\/\/github.com\/tesseract-ocr\/tesseract\/wiki\/<\/a>.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    How do I know if \/ where I have Tesseract installed on my server?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Linux:<\/p>\n\n

      \n
    1. SSH into your server and type which tesseract<\/code>.<\/li>\n
    2. If Tesseract is installed and in your shell environment PATH the terminal should return a path similar to \/opt\/local\/bin\/tesseract<\/code>.<\/li>\n
    3. Place this path in the configuration of the OCR plugin through the Settings > Tesseract<\/code> link in the sidebar menu in WordPress<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/dd>\n

      Where is the detected text stored?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      The text detected by the OCR plugin is added as a new post, named after the image file.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      What is the 'Resize percentage' configuration option?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      The OCR plugin is tailored to detect text in images with ~12pt text at 72dpi.\nGD is used to upscale the temporary TIFF images fed to Tesseract as Tesseract is generally more accurate with\nlarger type, even if it's been upscaled from a smaller source. If you wish to disable this option simply set this\nconfiguration option to 100%<\/code> and no resizing will occur.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      What if I just want to use the plugin but not install anything?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      Hosting options are available. See https:\/\/tattersoftware.com<\/a>\nfor contact info.<\/p><\/dd>\n
