@  Peter, thanks for pointing that out, ) planned to do a new release in anyway. The very needed fix is a good chance to do so now :). I pushed it upstream and released.

i marked the OCRdesktop package out of date in ArchLinux, til it is updated, ocrdesktop-git from AUR could been used. git and stable are just equal right now.

cheers chrys

Hello,
After updating to tesseract 5, I started getting an error while using ocrdesktop.
Here is a dirty fix
Open the file ocrdesktop and look for this content at line 440

int(OCRWords['conf'][i])]) # confidence

and change that to

int(float(OCRWords['conf'][i]))]) # confidence

The line is supposed to start with 18 space characters and followed by this text.
And here is a full traceback.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ocrdesktop", line 1592, in <module>
    Application.run()
  File "/usr/bin/ocrdesktop", line 994, in run

    self._gui = self._createNavListDialog()
  File "/usr/bin/ocrdesktop", line 763, in _createNavListDialog

ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '90.664742'

Howdy,

Will you add it into orca when this version with plugins availability will be ready? It would be great, when screenreader have ocr inside.

Of course. I can do that. But we furst have to bring some other stuff in place ;).By the way. I just merged master into plugin_system branch. So they are equal besides the plugin stuff.Cheers chrys

Howdy List,sorry for cross posting, but I thought you might be interested into that.I just released OCRdesktop 3.0 with some very nice stuff :).For those who don't know about OCRdesktop:https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Ocrdesktop1. i removed unmaintained "tesserwrap" bindings and use "pytesseract" now. This is very good maintained and is able to use Tesseract 4.1.x and Tesseract 5.0. Last didnt work with tesserwrap anymore cause by broken API.2. Removed all deprecation warnings, Modernize the code, use spaces instead of Tab and all kind of cleanup goodness.3. i added an very nice new feature to analyze the color of an given Text and its background. So you can figure what text is highlighted, has the focus and all kind of useful stuff. its off by default and could be used by "-O" flag as parameter. For this we need some new dependency webcolor and scipy.See the full story here:https://www.patreon.com/posts/ocr-desktop-60895292https://www.patreon.com/posts/color-analyzing-60988555Where to get:https://github.com/chrys87/ocrdesktop/releases/tag/v3.0Depencys:- python3- tesseract- tesseract-lang-<yourLanguageCode>- python3-pillow- python-atspi- python-pytesseract- libwnck3- GTK3Optional Depencys- python-scipy (for color detection)- python-webcolors (for color detection)I hope you have as much fun while using it as i had while working on it :).have a good day and stay healthy in those crazy times.cheers chrys_______________________________________________orca-list mailing listorca-list@gnome.orghttps://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/orca-listOrca wiki: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/OrcaOrca documentation: https://help.gnome.org/users/orca/stable/GNOME Universal Access guide: https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/a11y.html
