Re: [orca-list] Accessible scanning/ocr software



.. And with the new OCR engine based on LSTM neural networks, tesseract 4.0 is even better.

So lios is probably a gui front-end for tesseract. A few years ago, I wanted to scan in the Dungeons & 
Dragons 5E players handbook. I spent a lot of time trying every OCR package I could find for linux. I did 
my best to fine-tune the scans for each package but I was never able to come even close to the accuracy I 
got from tesseract with any other package. But I was able to get amazing accuracy from tesseract.

PS: If there is anyone out there looking for a D&D or pathfinder game, I might be able to hook you up. Or 
if you are interested in my text file D&D 5th edition players guide let me know. I was going to post it to 
bookshare but I couldn't get it converted to RTF.

Hi Andy,

it's LIOS, aka Linux-intelligent-ocr-solution.

I have queued for Slint's next big update a package built from git master on GitHub:
https://github.com/Nalin-x-Linux/lios-3
Ther is also a repo on GitLab
https://gitlab.com/Nalin-x-Linux/lios-3
but it is two commits behind at time of writing.

LIOS is amazing. I tried most features.

To build and run it I needed following dependencies:

py3gobject,pyenchant,pyinsane,python3,python3-pillow,speech-dispatcher,tesseract,tesseract-data,espeak-ng

The names may vary for another distribution.

HTH,

Didier


PS:
LIOS drop-down menu entries are accessible with the Alt key:
Alt+F File
Alt+E Edit
Alt+I Image
Alt+S Scan
Alt+S Recognize
Alt+T Tools
Alt+P Preferences
Alt+H Help
 From the menu, you can navigate with the arrow keys.
Some commands have a key binding, indicated alongside it.

Hi,


Some time ago, someone mentioned scanning/ocr software on this list. What is the name of the package? If 
I remember, it resembled lilos or something similar.
