UNICHARSET_EXTRACTOR(1) 												   UNICHARSET_EXTRACTOR(1)

NAME

       unicharset_extractor - extract unicharset from Tesseract boxfiles

SYNOPSIS

       unicharset_extractor [-D dir] FILE...

DESCRIPTION

       Tesseract needs to know the set of possible characters it can output. To generate the unicharset data file, use the unicharset_extractor
       program on the same training pages bounding box files as used for clustering:

	   unicharset_extractor fontfile_1.box fontfile_2.box ...

       The unicharset will be put into the file dir/unicharset, or simply ./unicharset if no output directory is provided.

       Tesseract also needs to have access to character properties isalpha, isdigit, isupper, islower, ispunctuation. all of this auxilury data
       and more is encoded in this file. (See unicharset(5))

       If your system supports the wctype functions, these values will be set automatically by unicharset_extractor and there is no need to edit
       the unicharset file. On some older systems (eg Windows 95), the unicharset file must be edited by hand to add these property description
       codes.

       NOTE The unicharset file must be regenerated whenever inttemp, normproto and pffmtable are generated (i.e. they must all be recreated when
       the box file is changed) as they have to be in sync. This is made easier than in previous versions by running unicharset_extractor before
       mftraining and cntraining, and giving the unicharset to mftraining.

NAME

       wordlist2dawg - convert a wordlist to a DAWG for Tesseract

SYNOPSIS

       wordlist2dawg WORDLIST DAWG lang.unicharset

       wordlist2dawg -t WORDLIST DAWG lang.unicharset

       wordlist2dawg -r 1 WORDLIST DAWG lang.unicharset

       wordlist2dawg -r 2 WORDLIST DAWG lang.unicharset

       wordlist2dawg -l <short> <long> WORDLIST DAWG lang.unicharset

DESCRIPTION

       wordlist2dawg(1) converts a wordlist to a Directed Acyclic Word Graph (DAWG) for use with Tesseract. A DAWG is a compressed, space and time
       efficient representation of a word list.

OPTIONS

       -t Verify that a given dawg file is equivalent to a given wordlist.

       -r 1 Reverse a word if it contains an RTL character.

       -r 2 Reverse all words.

       -l <short> <long> Produce a file with several dawgs in it, one each for words of length <short>, <short+1>,... <long>

ARGUMENTS

       WORDLIST A plain text file in UTF-8, one word per line.

       DAWG The output DAWG to write.

       lang.unicharset The unicharset of the language. This is the unicharset generated by mftraining(1).
