Slack channel #ocr

Current state

• On-demand OCR extraction of ingredients using Tesseract 2 (production) and Tesseract 3 (.net) and Google Cloud Vision
• Uses the French dictionary for all languages

-- /home/off-fr/cgi# grep get_ocr *
Ingredients.pm:use Image::OCR::Tesseract 'get_ocr';
Ingredients.pm: $text =  decode utf8=>get_ocr($image,undef,'fra');

• Has a small custom dictionary for French ( /usr/share/tesseract-ocr/tessdata/fra.user-words)
  • https://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/wiki/FAQ#How_do_I_provide_my_own_dictionary
