How to run text2image.cpp

Question

I am working on tesseract. I want create new training language for tesseract. Please can anyone tell me what are the specific steps for training new language. And also tell me how to run text2image.cpp program. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

To run text2image first compile and link text2image.cpp using an appropriate C++ toolchain then run the executable with the appropriate text file as an input. Alternatively you can download a windows installer which will give you an executable to use rather than the .cpp.

Instructions on building the tesseract tool chain are here and on how to train for currently unsupported languages is here.
