Yes, it can be. https://github.com/java-native-access/jna/blob/master/www/DirectMapping.md
thanks, I will try it out. Is direct mapping more efficient than using the interface ?
Leptonica library has many dependencies to open various image file types, such as TIFF, PNG, JPEG, etc., which in turn have other dependencies, as you've seen. On Windows, we were able to embed all the image library dependencies inside libleptonica.dll. We don't know how to generate a similar static library liblept.so on Linux. Installing Tesseract would ensure installing of all the required dependency libraries.
Please use the JNA Direct Mapping API — Leptonica1. https://tess4j.sourceforge.net/docs/index.html

I have solved my question.
Hello, Is Tess4J an open-source project? Where is the source code please? Thank you.
For Tesseract non-Windows binary, you'll have to install or compile it yourself. https://tesseract-ocr.github.io/tessdoc/#compiling-and-installation
Hello, for Macs the binay of the lib is missing: darwin/libtesseract.dylib Best regards Angelo
Thanks for your support. I ended up not using the path returned by the method. I let tess4j do its thing and that works fine. If I ever end up needing the path, I'll ensure that my registry value works or that I do it another way
On my Win11 machine, java.io.tmpdir is resolved to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\tess4j. You might have correctly assessed, this seems to be due to a legacy dos setting in windows on your machine. You might try setting the Windows Registry value as suggested in the second article you mentioned.

I remember the 8.3 filename limitation in old DOS or Windows 95 era, but all modern OSes should be able to handle the long filenames. Which Windows version are you seeing the issue in?
LoadLibs.extractTessResources() returns wrong dos style filenames
@Praveen Anand Please use the Lept4J version compatible with your Leptonica installation.
@ShawnChen Did this issue got resolved ? Im facing the exact same error
Fixed it. It was an issue with the JNA dependency. Had JNA loaded in another linked project. As a result it was suing the older version vs this one below. <dependency> <groupId>net.java.dev.jna</groupId> <artifactId>jna</artifactId> <version>5.12.1</version> </dependency>
So as it appears to me.... LoadLibs wants to copy the contents from a folder named linux-x86-64 in the jar file into /tmp/tess4j/linux-x86-64.

Hi to all, I have implemented a Spring boot microservice which use tess4j 4.3.1 and pdfbox 2.0.22 in my server Oracle Linux Server , example code https://colwil.com/how-to-extract-text-from-a-scanned-pdf-using-ocr-in-java/ When I execute code with my IDE on windows pc and invoke local service, time execution is fast : "Tesseract.doOcr" 8 seconds, so when I execute api to invoke microservice's code method "Tesseract.doOcr" is slow 40-50 seconds, parameter pdf file is the same Any idea? Thanks :-)
If it was properly installed after built, a libtesseract.dylib symbolic link would be created. If not, you can manually create it. This link is what JNA is looking to load the native library.
Does this apply to Mac M1? I compiled tesseract like here (https://tesseract-ocr.github.io/tessdoc/Compiling.html#macos) and downloaded Tess4J, but I cant find the libtesseract.dylib file in any of them?

You mean separate physical copies of the training data files? I've seen instances of Tesseract running in multithreaded applications using the same set of training data files.
Is it necessary to have separate copies of tesseract training data when running multiple instances of Tess4j in a separate JVMs.

The output OCR documents look good. So, the 1 word count is really misleading. We have conditional logic that follows the createDocumentsWithResults() call that relies on the size of the Words list in the OCRResult.
What about the output documents (files) themselves? Can you put in a new issue at https://github.com/nguyenq/tess4j/issues ? Thanks.
We've encountered a bug when calling createDocumentsWithResults() from Tesseract/tess4j 4.5.5. The Tiff scanned by the method call, has 32 pages, and ~3100 words. Yet, the result produced by the Java call only contains the result of the last page scanned. The OCRResult, in Java, is an empty string in this bounding box: [ [Confidence: 95.000000 Bounding box: 313 434 938 822]], which is the same result when scanning the last page of the Tiff file. Can the Tess4j team investigate this bug ?
Hello, Can please reduce the unnecessary dependence jai-imageio-core:1.4.0 ? The last update was also over 4 years ago. Also, I see (sorry if I missed something) that this library is only used for TIFF Meta and this is also possible with the Java 11 api. Therefore I recommend to remove this dependency and use the new Java API.

JNA is looking for a libtesseract.dylib to load. Do you have it in system path? Several developers were able to use the library on MacOs. Please search through the forum posts.
Hi, I have tried to get it to work so many times but it still is not working. I added the dependency to my maven and then wrote the code following instructions. I'm not sure why it is not working. Could someone help? Thanks!
Yes, tess4j-4.6.1.
Do we have this fixed for Tess4J that will work with Tesseract 4.1.1?
Thank you for the fix!
Security - log4j2 vulnerability - Tess4J using old version(1.2.17) of log4j which needs upgrade to 2.17.1
5.1.1 has been released with ghost4j dependency removed. Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention.
5.1.1 has been released with ghost4j dependency removed.
If vulnerabilities exist in ghost4j library, that's beyond our control. We can elect to remove ghost4j dependency from tess4j.
Upon upgrading tess4j to latest version(5.1.0) , we could still see log4j 1.2.17 dependency coming from ghost4j, could you please check Attached is the screenshot for reference
According to Apache Log4j Security Vulnerabilities, Log4j 1.x is not impacted by this vulnerability. Latest versions of tess4j do not have log4j dependency.
I suggest that you clone the github repository, switch to tess4j-3 branch, study and execute the unit tests in your IDE, and go from there. You may want to start out with the simple example first to ensure that the library and its dependencies are set up correctly before going further with more complicated codes.

Your dependency versions look correct. https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/net.sourceforge.tess4j/tess4j/5.0.0 If the simple example works right, that means jna/tess4j/lept4j are working properly with your tesseract/leptonica installation. That suggests something is not working correctly in your application code. Look at the test cases in tess4j project for examples: https://github.com/nguyenq/tess4j As mentioned in Issue 1074, the font info was only available in tesseract 3.x.

No. The program will convert the input PDF to a multi-page TIFF image. What you can do is process the PDF before the OCR step, probably use PDFBox to extract a specified page, then convert that page to an image, and send it to tesseract engine.

Hello When using PDF files with multiple pages, is there a way to specify which page i want to do OCR? Thanks
In Tess4J, PDF documents are converted to grayscale images by Ghostscript or PDFBox before feeding to Tesseract OCR engine. You can do your own conversion of PDF files before the OCR processing.

Documentation: http://tess4j.sourceforge.net/docs/docs-4.4/ You can pass in a List<IIOImage> to doOCR method. There are other methods in Tesseract class that returns confidence values. JNA Direct Mapping: https://github.com/java-native-access/jna/blob/master/www/DirectMapping.md
I know this issue is a years old, but I'm wondering what is the current 'best' way to get the confidences? Like others, I am also confused by the difference between Tesseract vs Tesseract1 and TessAPI vs TessAPI1 I see what you said about doOcr() being intended for a single image because it shuts down after processing. What is the best way to be able to process multiple images? Is there any documentation on the best way to do this (as well as getting the confidences) thank you
I just entered that last post, but I wasn't logged in.
