I have this error
qt5ct: using qt5ct plugin
Error opening data file /usr/share/tesseract-ocr/4.00/tessdata/eng.traineddata
Please make sure the TESSDATA_PREFIX environment variable is set to your "tessdata" directory.
Failed loading language 'eng'
Tesseract couldn't load any languages!
but /usr/share/tesseract-ocr/5/tessdata/eng.traineddata is the new one
error from linux mint
What is your Linux Mint version?
Does using the command-line tesseract tool gives the same message?
I have fixed this problem putting:
export TESSDATA_PREFIX="/usr/share/tesseract-ocr/"
to the ~/.profile
file. if I put this on ~/.bashrc
only works when I run the dpscreenocr
from command line but if I use the menu launcher of linux mint not work
Linux Mint 20.2 Uma
I was unable to reproduce the issue on Linux Mint 20.2. The tesseract-ocr-eng
package provides /usr/share/tesseract-ocr/4.00/tessdata/eng.traineddata
, and dpScreenOCR seems to work fine without any error messages.
I assume the issue is related to your local configuration. Most likely, it's an incorrect path in the TESSDATA_PREFIX environment variable.
On Unix-like systems, it's best to ensure that TESSDATA_PREFIX is not set, which will let Tesseract pick the correct data path automatically.
