Error performing OCR with Tesseract: read_params_file: Can't open deu


While specifiing the language pack used to perform the OCR, i get the following error (for every language pack corresponding):

read_params_file: Can't open deu

I used the command as described in the wiki:

tesseract test.tif out -1 deu

The .traineddata files are located under tessdata and the TESSDATA_PREFIX is set to the parent directory of tessdata. The process works under default without given language information.

I have Tesseract 3.05 installed on Windows 10.


Solution

  • The command should be

    tesseract test.tif out -l deu
    

    with "l" instead of a "1".
