Always crashes when doing OCR step
GoogleCodeExporter opened this issue · comments
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. installed python-tesseract 0.7.6 win32 bundled with tesseract (Aug 14
release) on Win XP with Python 2.7.
2. Initially had DLL load problems but fixed them by moving the files mentioned
here: http://code.google.com/p/python-tesseract/issues/detail?id=31
3. run either example script and python crashes with no error message. (first
example crashes on tesseract.ProcessPageBuffer and second example crashes on
GetUTF8Text).
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect some kind of OCR output or even an error message. Instead python
crashes.
Please provide any additional information below.
Stepping through in the debugger seems to put the source of the fatal error in
_tesseract.pyd

set c:\python27\python.exe to be compatible to Windows 7 even though you are
using windows 7. Otherwise the program might crash during runtime Details

that's what i was using at the time (btw if you recall we exchanged a number of
emails about this issue a few weeks back). i did not have the option for that
compatibility mode since that's what i was running. i've since upgraded to win
7 64 bit and have not tried python-tesseract yet
