WINE:
It is assumed that wine is installed, but if it isn't you need to do the following, after installing wine:
Wine needs winecfg ran one time so that the hidden directory .wine is created in /home/user. If that
subdirectory exists, wine has been configured. Skip to 3A Below:
Code: Select all
winecfg
Once the .wine directory is built the configuration tool will start, and you can set a virtual desktop in the graphics tab if you wish.
Install the MFC42.dll from a Windows XP box, if it does not already exist, or install WineTricks.
You will need a native MFC42.dll in ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 before the IrfanView install will work.
4. Copy the iview427.exe file to /home/user/.wine/drive_c, then install IrfanView with:
Code: Select all
cd /home/user/.wine/drive_c
cp /home/user/Downloads/iview427_setup.exe .
wine iview427_setup.exe
6. Change the ICON by Right clicking on the Desktop Icon and then clicking on
the displayed ICON. Change to /usr/share/pixmaps/wine.svg
OR Download Irfanview.PNG
Other possible ICON choices are located at /usr/share/icons and lower subdirectories.....
7. Copy the setup_kadmos_irfanview_us.exe file to /home/user/.wine/drive_c, then install ocr_kadmos with:
Code: Select all
cd /home/user/.wine/drive_c
cp /home/user/Downloads/setup_kadmos_irfanview_us.exe .
wine setup_kadmos_irfanview_us.exe
then select OK.
9. Open a JPG file (Picture of a cookbook page) in Irfanview
10. Seclect OPTIONS -> START OCR....
11. When the OCR Window opens, select the Language as ENGLISH UK, then click on CONFIG, Click on the Button
SAVE IN..., and save in the Folder named Windows as file reConfig.ini. This will create the required configuration files.
12. From the OCR Window, click on MANAGE CLASSIFIERS & DICTIONARIES, Click on ENGLISH UK, then
Click on DOWNLOAD OTHER LANGUAGES, and Click on ENGLISH US, and six files will be downloaded.
These additional files will be saved in /home/user/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/IrfanView/Plugins/ocr_kadmos
as *.rec and en_US* files.
13. With the Language selected as ENGLISH US, and DICTIONARY as "no check" Left Click and Drag in the Left Panel,
to mark a square of the Text to OCR. A window will open with the recognized text. If your JPG is displaying two pages from
a cookbook, you will have to OCR each page individually, by selecting the page in the selected area, saving each
page before proceeding to the second portion.
