Do you really intend to reinvent tesseract 4? I hope not...

It just a python script...
You will need a few dependencies listed in SLKBUILD here:
http://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-14.2.1/source/ocrdesktop/

The packages names of the dependencies are for the Slint distribution that
I maintain.
I'll let you find the corresponding names for Ubuntu Mate.
