Leptess

High level Rust binding for Tesseract and Leptonica.

On top of the vanilla C API, it adds the following features:

• Iterator for array like types
• Drop trait for automatic memory management

Build dependencies

Make sure you have Leptonica and Tesseract installed.

For Ubuntu user:

sudo apt-get install libleptonica-dev libtesseract-dev

Usage

Minimal example:

let api = tesseract::TessApi::new();
api.init("eng");

let pix = leptonica::pix_read(Path::new("path/page.bmp")).unwrap();
api.set_image(&pix);

println!("{}", api.get_utf8_text().unwrap());

api.destroy();
pix.destroy();
