What is tesseract-ocr?
ruby-tesseract-ocr is a Ruby wrapper library that provides bindings and a Ruby-esque interface to the Tesseract OCR API. It enables Ruby applications to perform optical character recognition (OCR) on images, extracting text and structured data like blocks, paragraphs, and words with metadata such as confidence scores and bounding boxes.
Ruby developers who need to integrate OCR capabilities into their applications, such as those processing scanned documents, images with text, or automating data extraction workflows.
Developers choose ruby-tesseract-ocr because it offers an idiomatic Ruby interface to the robust Tesseract OCR engine, simplifying integration while providing advanced features like hOCR output and detailed element-level access, all with cross-Ruby implementation support (including JRuby).
