In cpp11tesseract: Open Source OCR Engine

5.3.3

• This is a fork of the original tesseract package made by Jeroen Ooms. The differences are:
  • Uses 'cpp11' instead of 'Rcpp'.
  • Provides functions to download and use the slower but more accurate models.
  • Provides functions to download and use contributed models.
  • The documentation works offline.
  • Explicitly tests on Ubuntu with Tesseract 4 (Ubuntu 22.04 default) and Tesseract 5 (PPA).
  • The function to download images from the web was removed to comply with Munk security policies. The images should be downloaded locally, and once verified, these should be uploaded to the server.
  • Tests that the installed Tesseract version is compatible with the C++ compiler used to compile the package.
  • Does not use autobrew to install dependencies on macOS.
  • Uses 'cpp11poppler' instead of 'pdftools' and removed the 'magick' dependency.
