Example of using Tesseract OCR for PHP

This is just a very basic example of how to use the Tesseract OCR engine within a PHP application. This code uses thiagoalessio/tesseract_ocr as an API bridge to the locally installed Tesseract OCR engine.

Recently I required a quick & simple way to feed arbitrary images or other visual files to the Tesseract OCR engine from a PHP runtime environment. So I created this PHP sample project for myself and for anybody else who might find this somehow useful.

Happy Coding!

Prerequisites

Usage

  1. Clone the repository
  2. Run composer install in a terminal session within the root folder.
  3. Execute the OCR engine by running php src/main.php also from the root folder.
