Re: [orca-list] OT: OCRdesktop ported to tesseract 4.0

Howdy,

You have to use octdesktop-git instead of ocrdesktop package from AUR ( it’s currently only fixed in master) 
as i need to release a new stable first after some feedback.

If it still doesn't work for you please open a terminal an start ocrdesktop there then send me the output.

Cheers chrys
