    @daemianmack
    hey all. is there a demo running somewhere of this project (or of tesseract) that i can try out?
    Traun Leyden
    @tleyden
    @daemianmack hey! nope, no public api, but it should be easy to deploy it on your own cloud.

    @daemianmack
    @tleyden i was hoping to avoid setup if the sort of text i'm looking to OCR turns out to be impractical. maybe you could opine -- does the text in this image look like it might be possible to OCR with tesseract, given i might need to use character whitelisting and some kind of positioning bounding/transform? http://i.imgur.com/SMbdWzK.jpg

    @tleyden
    @daemianmack it's really hard to know without trying, but my gut tells me that tesseract will struggle with that
    Thought Object
    @thoughtobj
    Is tesseract ran as a command line or does it use the provided C-APIs? Want to know if everything is done in memory or I/O
    Traun Leyden
    @tleyden
    @thoughtobj initially it was using a g
    .. a go binding to the c api
    However I ran into limitations and switched to a command line approach (fork / exec) subprocess
    Thought Object
    @thoughtobj
    @tleyden do you remember what limitations you ran into and whether they were from the actual c-api or from the go binding? command line approach would work fine however, it requires writing the file to the disk which includes I/O. Doing everything in memory would be better, no?
    Traun Leyden
    @tleyden
    @thoughtobj yeah there were limitations to the go bindings and I filed an issue (that I can dig up), which may have been fixed by now. I believe I made the commandline exec() approach the default but kept the gobinding approach as optional.
    But yeah, the gobinding approach is cleaner and more efficient and was my original approach

    I was googling around for OCR as a service and your github came up
    How actively is the github repo maintained?

    I keep getting this when I run docker-compose up ERROR: Get https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/tleyden5iwx/open-ocr-preprocessor/manifests/latest: Get https://auth.docker.io/token?scope=repository%3Atleyden5iwx%2Fopen-ocr-preprocessor%3Apull&service=registry.docker.io: net/http: TLS handshake timeout

    I have created an issue for this tleyden/open-ocr#52
    @tleyden Sorry I had to ping you directly. I was hoping you had an answer to this
    Traun Leyden
    @tleyden
    @simkimsia it's been maintained in the sense that it's been low maintenance, and I have been helping people that get stuck. Haven't added much in the way of new features, and I still need to get back to documenting and cleaning up the stroke width transform stuff.
    simkimsia
    @simkimsia
    @tleyden Thanks for clarifying.
    @tleyden I have somehow resolved my issue with the docker-compose up by turning on my VPN. Not sure why.
    Traun Leyden
    @tleyden
    Just saw that, thanks for posting the follow up!
    That is strange, I'd ask the person maintaining your network to see if that is on purpose. Never seen that before.

    I am running the docker on my mac book pro
    so I am not sure what's my RABBITMQ_HOST ip address
    Traun Leyden
    @tleyden
    You are using docker compose right?
    simkimsia
    @simkimsia
    i used docker-compose up
    Traun Leyden
    @tleyden
    Actually would you mind opening a new ticket? I will tag as a question.. I think this will be useful to lots of people
    Things are much simpler with docker compose

    @simkimsia
    Any ideas?

    @simkimsia
    I sent a pull request to make it explicit on how to solve the issue for the docker-compose inside mac os x
    tleyden/open-ocr#54
    Please merge it.

    Hi @tleyden I was going through the thread tleyden/open-ocr#18 and am interested in seeing how a hOcr file can be generated. I ran the command, curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"img_url":"http://i.imgur.com/xYAaDjV.png","engine":"tesseract","engine_args":{"psm":"3","lang":"fra"}, "config_vars": {"tessedit_create_hocr":"1","tessedit_pageseg_mode":"1"}}' http://192.168.121.130:9292/ocr in my terminal but was wondering were can I find the actual output be it txt or hocr's xml?

    Hi All
    Can you let me know if Dockerfile are available to build the images before running docker compose - instead of Docker pull of the images
    We have constraints in our Org for using Docker pull
