<pre wrap="">I'm trying to go through some of my old letters, and writings, of which I
have only paper copies remaining. Discovered Tesseract, and started to use
it. Simple, and very accurate OCR. But:
suddenly it seems to have quit working. I use Gimp and xsane to prepare a
tif, or png file for it at 300dpi, and it was doing fine, until it decided
not to.
here's the command I've been using: tesseract ltr-996h-p1.png ltr-996h-p1
(or the same with a tif file.)
And here is the result:
tesseract ltr-996h-p1.png ltr-996h-p1
Tesseract Open Source OCR Engine v3.02 with Leptonica
Cannot open input file: ltr-996h-p1.png
I've tried with several different files - same result. No indication of
why it will not open the input file. And I find almost no documentation on
it.</pre>

Dave, is your scanner an Epson by chance?<br>
