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

[chrys linux-a11y org]

Howdy list,

its a little of topic but want to share here since some are already  
working for hthis here.
i found some time yesterday to wire up OCRdesktop for tesseract 4.
I also fixed some deprications for tesseract, so we should be fine for  
next couple of years.
One of the points was that the language data is stored on a different  
place. I added the path where its located on Archlinux to the search  
function.
its:
/usr/share/tessdata/
here. if you install the tesseract data try to locate this. if this is  
different for you let me know, i will add the path to the search tree.  
Maybe there is an other way to search this as well. always open for  
patches to keep a awsome tool even more awsome.
you currently have to recompile python-tesserwrap (mabe reinstall is  
enought, not sure) and use OCRdesktop from master.
git clone https://github.com/chrys87/ocrdesktop.git

If somebody wants to help to improve this great tool let me know. it  
could need some love as some of the GTK stuff deprecates as well (do  
they really remove the traditional menu??? how stupid - i hope i m  
wrong). its not complicated and i will help in any way :). but would  
be very sad if OCRdesktop rot. It helps a lot of people to access  
inaccessible interaces with orca.

cheers chrys
