good OCR Libraries?

edited November 2013 in Library Questions

Do you know of ocr plugins that are easy to integrate into a processing workflow? There is tesseract, which is good, but its a c++ library.

Please share your experience with using optical character recognition in processing :)

  • Better search libraries made for Java. I guess (vaguely recall) that there is only a Java wrapper for Tesseract. Making such library is far from trivial, that's why there aren't so much non-commercial ones.

    Searching is one thing. But if somebody has any experience with opensource ocr-libraries (if existing) I'd appreciate some pointers. But as it seems there hardly is even a java ocr library. I might try Tess4J ( http://tess4j.sourceforge.net/ )
