Try this it can read from an image file or a byte buffer.

jTesseract.bas is the source for the library.

pic1.png is what I used for testing it.

As this is a desktop app, we can also simply run tesseract's commandline program. I made a pdf to text tool this way.

Get them from here (then we don't use up Erels storage)

Now the error is gone.
But there is another one:

Code:
B4X: 
    Dim t As jTesseract
    t.Initialize("C:\tess\tessdata")
    Dim c3po As AWTRobot
    Log(t.OcrFromBuffer(c3po.ScreenCaptureAsByteArray))

Raises the error:

Did you download the traineddata file for the language you want to use ?

In the tess4j folder there should be 25 jar files and one directory(tessdata)

Thats what i have done so far:
- downloade tess4j, and extracted to c:\tess4j
- edited the jTesseract.xml, an changed c:\temp\tess4j for c:\tess4j, where i put the others jars.

Im using english for language.

Thats my C:\Tess4J\tessdata folder:

ok try this - it is using the jTesseract as a class module.

You will need to change the location of the jars in the main module.

I loaded your b4j app - changed the path to the jars in the main module and it worked fine.

Is there something special with file tess4j-3.4.8.jar wich is in the C:\Tess4J\dist folder. Shoud it be copied to any special place?
Did you "instaled" something? I simply downloaded and unziped the tess4j.

On the link I posted in post #8 I just downloaded the file (it was called jar_files.zip), unpacked it into my c:/temp/tess4j folder

I've done it all again and now it worked.
But it's issuing a warning, which I think slows down the OCR process.
"Warning: Parameter not found: enable_new_segsearch"

You really don't owe me anything.
I enjoy writing code not for monetary reward.
What you could do with it
A, buy a book on java this will help you.
B, have a meal with it.
C, use it to extend your b4x licence.
D, keep it.

The plus for me is I had never heard of Tesseract before today, so I learned something new too.
