Generating training data using Tess4J

Question

I am using Tess4J to use Tesseract programmatically, which works great for recognition tasks.

Now I want to add some features that help with generating traineddata files from texts like described in this wiki article, but from Java/Tess4J. It won't matter if I have to use the "NEW Automated method" or the "Old Manual method". Both will be fine.

Does Tess4J support this or is there another binding for Java that is capable of training Tesseract?

Answer 1

The training is provided by other executables besides Tesseract, and they are not exposed as API or libraries. For Java-based Tesseract training, you may want to check out jTessBoxEditor project.
