To format Tesseract-OCR language settings within a .bat
file's for
command, you can use the following syntax:
batchfor %%G in (*.png) do (
tesseract "%%G" "%%~nG" -l <language_code> --oem 3 --psm 3
)
Here's an explanation of the components in the command:
for %%G in (*.png)
loops through all.png
files in the current directory.%%G
represents the loop variable that holds the current file name."%%G"
specifies the input file to be passed to Tesseract-OCR. Adjust the file extension according to your file types."%%~nG"
extracts the base name (without extension) of the file, which will be used as the output file name.<language_code>
should be replaced with the appropriate language code for the desired OCR language (e.g.,eng
for English,spa
for Spanish, etc.).--oem 3
specifies the OCR Engine Mode (OEM) as 3, which uses the default OCR engine.--psm 3
sets the Page Segmentation Mode (PSM) as 3, which assumes a single block of text within the image.
Make sure you have Tesseract-OCR installed and its executable (tesseract
) accessible in the system's PATH
environment variable.
Save the above code in a .bat
file and run it to process the specified files with Tesseract-OCR using the language settings you have provided. Adjust the file extension, language code, and other parameters as needed for your specific use case.
