Cannot install english language

Open sanjarcode opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

After installation using the PPA, I installed tesseract-ocr-eng, but it wasn't recognized. So I reinstalled the app. Still does not recognize language.

This is very bad UX, and no examples for English packages are given in the manual.

I'm on Ubuntu 20.04

Do you have the TESSDATA_PREFIX environment variable set (does echo $TESSDATA_PREFIX print something)?

You can also check whether the command-line tesseract tool works correctly.

I was unable to reproduce the issue. I'm closing it due to lack of feedback; feel free to reopen it if you have anything to add.
