WORDLIST2DAWG(1)
NAME
tesseract - command line OCR tool
SYNOPSIS
Part of the process to train tesseract for a new language. Tesseract uses 3 dictionary files for each language. Two of the files are coded as a Directed Acyclic Word Graph (DAWG), and the other is a plain UTF-8 text file. To make the DAWG dictionary files, you first need a wordlist for your language. The wordlist is formatted as a UTF-8 text file with one word per line. Split the wordlist into two sets: the frequent words, and the rest of the words, and then use wordlist2dawg to make the DAWG files: wordlist2dawg frequent_words_list freq-dawg wordlist2dawg words_list word-dawg
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the wordlist2dawg command.
tesseract is a commercial quality OCR engine originally developed at HP
between 1985 and 1995. In 1995, this engine was among the top 3 evaluated by UNLV. It was open-sourced by HP and UNLV in 2005.
