Tesseract - Error : Params model::Incomplete line error

Question

Im facing some difficulties while using Tesseract. First let me present my actual configuration. Im working on Windows and have this Tesseract version :

tesseract 3.05.00dev leptonica-1.73 libgif 4.1.6(?) : libjpeg 8d (libjpeg-turbo 1.4.2) : lib .0.6 : zlib 1.2.8 : libwebp 0.4.3 : libopenjp2 2.1.0

I have added every languages available with the msi installation. Unfortunately, i am not able to run a conversion with dutch, italian, spanish, and french languages.

Im using the cmd to execute tesseract. To show you what kind of error i keep having, im going to use a pretty simple example.

When I run that :

tesseract MainMenu.tif result -l deu

I keep having this error endlessly :

Params model::Incomplete line

That is pretty weird and i am unable to spot whats going wrong. I can convert in any other languages without any trouble. I have tried to dl the latest .traineddata from github but it doesnt change anyhing. I have uninstalled and re-installed the soft too. Using tesseract --list-langs i am able to see deu, fra, spa and ita.

I have been reading the source code from Github, that makes this error message pop. But I cant find what I am doing wrong. As I said it works just fine with any languages, except those 4.

Hopefully you will have a lead on this one

Answer 1

I got this problem too. In my case it is because of using the wrong version of trained data file. I have use https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata (master).

This is for tesseract 4 (for this date 15/1/2017). The solution is use this https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata/tree/3.04.00.

hope this helps.
