Tess4J and installing Tesseract

KNIME Analytics Platform
1

Hi there, I’m new to KNIME so please forgive my ignorance.

I am trying to use OCR to parse image based pdf’s. I have installed tess4J node and included it in my workflow, but when I try run it I get intialising errors. After doing some digging I think I need to install tesseract into anaconda fist? Is that right? If so some links as to how to do that would be great.

I have never used OCR at all, not outside knime either, so it’s likely I do not have the correct setup.

Note: Windows system.

@nicola_vrey Welcome to the KNIME forum. She you by any chance on a Mac. There has been a problem with Tess4J

@ScottF do you have any news on that?

@nicola_vrey if you want to install Phyton packages you can read about it here:

This is still an outstanding issue, ticket number AP-16077. I’ve asked internally if we have current plans for a workaround.
