Leptess

High level Rust binding for Tesseract and Leptonica.

On top of the vanilla C API, it adds the following features:

• Iterator for array like types
• Drop trait for automatic memory management

Build dependencies

Make sure you have Leptonica and Tesseract installed.

For Ubuntu user:

bash sudo apt-get install libleptonica-dev libtesseract-dev

Usage

Minimal example:

```rust let api = tesseract::TessApi::new(); api.init("eng");

let pix = leptonica::pixread(Path::new("path/page.bmp")).unwrap(); api.setimage(&pix);

println!("{}", api.getutf8text().unwrap());

api.destroy(); pix.destroy(); ```
