How to Use the "Wizard>Tesseract OCR" Plugin in Grasshopper

Hi all,

I’m using the ‘Tesseract OCR’ component in Grasshopper>Wizard. When I connect ‘TessData’ and it prompts ‘1. Please choose the correct folder where the data should exist’.

The TessData files I downloaded are from GitHub: GitHub - tesseract-ocr/tessdata: Trained models with fast variant of the "best" LSTM models + legacy models.

Thanks.

Hi Seg,

Thank you for your reply.

I downloaded the two files you indicated and tested them, but I still received an error.

What I did was download the Zip files from GitHub, then unzip them, and then connect the paths to “Tesseract OCR”, and “Engine” select Default. The ZIP file’s content is shown in the screenshot below.

Do I need to do anything else? Such as licensing or other configurations? BTW, my Rhino version is R8, and the “Wizard” plugin was installed through PackageManager and is the latest version 1.1.7.

The plugin created for V7

To make it work in Rhino 8 use this way

1- Create a new Rhino 8 shortcut and name it Rhin 8 net
2- Open Rhin 8 net properties
3- set Target to:

"C:\Program Files\Rhino 8\System\Rhino.exe" /netfx

Hi Seg,

It worked! Thanks!

Following your instructions, it worked correctly in R8.

I also tested it in R7, and it worked successfully as well (It’s my fault for not testing the plugin directly in R7, cause I assumed it would work correctly in R8)

Thank you again!
